Study on Micro-Contact Mechanics Model for Multiscale Rough Surfaces

The observed multiscale phenomenon of rough surfaces, i.e. the smaller mountains mount on the bigger ones successively, renders the hierarchical structures which are described by the fractal geometry. In this situation, when two rough surfaces are loaded together with a higher load, the smaller asperities will undergo plastic flow and immerge into the bigger asperities below them. In other words, the higher load needs to be supported by the bigger asperities.
However, when the GW model was proposed in 1966, its analytical method considered that the length-scale of asperities is fixed, which is independent of load (or surface separation). In such condition, the analytical results for a specific asperity length-scale can only suit the situation of a certain narrow range of load.
In this research, a new model, called the multiscale GW model, has been developed, which takes into account the relationship between the load and the asperity length-scale. At first, based on the Nayak¡¦s model the multiscale asperity properties with different surface parameters have been derived, and based on the material yielding theory a criterion for determining the optimal asperity length-scale, which functions as supporting the load, is developed. Then both of the above are integrated into the GW model to build the multiscale GW model.
The new model is compared with traditional one qualitatively and quantitatively and show their essential differences. The effects of surface parameters and material parameters are discussed in this model. Finally a comparison with the experiment is made, and reveal the good coincidence.
