Contact Modeling of Rough Surfaces
Robert L. JacksonMechanical Engineering Department
Auburn University
• The modeling of surface asperities on the micro-scale is of great interest to those interested in the mechanics of surface contact, friction and wear.
• When considering the area of contact between real objects, the roughness of their surfaces must be accounted for, in that it will determine the real area of contact between them.

Rough Surface Contact Models
• Statistical – Model surface as a statistical distribution of asperities with various heights and properties (Computationally inexpensive).
• Deterministic – Model the real features of the surface as with much detail as possible (Computationally expensive).
• FFT Methods: Problem solved in Frequency domain.
• Fractal: Multiple scale roughness is considered.

Hertz Contact Solution (1882)• Closed-form expressions to the deformations
and stresses of two spheres in a purely elastic contact (Theory of Elasticity).
• The Hertz solution assumes that the interference is small enough such that the geometry does not change significantly.
• The solution also approximates the sphere surface as a parabolic curve with an equivalent radius of curvature at its tip.
• It is also assumed that the contact surfaces are frictionless.

Fully Plastic Truncation Model
ωπRAP 2= HRPp ωπ2=H = 3⋅Sy
Hardness• The average contact pressure (P/A) when a
contact surface has fully yielded (the entire contact surface is plastically deforming).
• Usually assumed to be approximately 3⋅Sy as predicted by slip-line theory (Tabor, 1951).
• However, Williams (1994) suggests a hardness value of 2.83⋅ Sy.
• Hardness is not an independent material property and is dependant on the (deformed) contact geometry, as well as E, Sy, ν.

Critical Interference (Initial Yielding)
• Using the von Mises Yield Criteria and the Hertz Contact solution the following numerically fit solution is obtained.

CEB Model• CEB model (Chang et al., 1987) approximates elasto-
plastic contact by modeling a plastically deformed portion of a hemisphere using volume conservation.
• Assumes average contact pressure to be constant hardness once yielding occurs.
• Discontinuity at critical interference.

ZMC Model• ZMC model (Zhao et.
al. 2000) interpolates between the elastic and fully plastic models.
• A template function satisfies continuity of the function and its slope at the two transitions.

FEM Elasto-plastic Model
• Kogut and Etsion (2002) performed a FEM analysis of the same case of an elastic-perfectly plastic sphere in contact with a rigid flat.
• In this analysis, the value of H is set to be fixed at 2.8⋅Sy.
• Very similar to current model, although the finite element mesh used is much more course than the current mesh.

Finite Element Model• Perfectly plastic material yields according to the von Mises
yield criterion.• 100 Contact Elements are used to model the contact at the
interface between the sphere and the rigid flat.• Iterative scheme used to relax problem to convergence.• Mesh convergence was satisfied.

Surface AdhesionFuller and Tabor (1975) proposed an Adhesion Parameter to predict if the effect of adhesion will be significant between the contact of two rough surfaces. They find that for the rubber surfaces they investigated, if θ>10 then adhesion is negligible.

Deterministic Methods
• Some claim to have assembled accurate deterministic models.
• This seems questionable since over 10,000 elements were used in the FEM analysis shown here to model a single asperity and results in long computation times! While these deterministic models model entire surfaces containing many asperities.

Other Factors
• Strain Hardening• Material Scale Effects• Effect of Asperity Shape• Thermal Effects• Sliding Contact• Lubrication
Conclusions
• Friction and Contact between real surfaces is a complicated issue which requires the use of simplified models.
• Care must be taken when using these simplified models as they may be very inaccurate for certain cases.
• Specifically, the use of hardness and hardness tests to model contact between rough surfaces may provide misleading results.
• Hardness as defined here is not an independent material property and it depends on the elastic properties and contact geometry.
