In this paper it is shown that a completely analytical theory based on the extended Hertzian approach together with additional considerations taking into account the geometrical conditions of a curved surface provide an appropriate model for the theoretical “simulation” of a variety of asperity contact problems. This model yields relatively fast and easy to use tools for the analysing of contact problems arising in connection with rough surfaces.
In this study the results are shown on the example of a 3µm-DLC-coating on a steel substrate with asperities of about 100µm in diameter and 15µm height. It is found, that – under a general average pressure of 1GPa – the ideal asperity tip contact situation would lead to severe damage due to plastic flow within the steel substrate. On the other hand a rather conforming contact situation appears to be completely non critical.
