This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

A rough surface electrical contact model considering the asperity interaction is developed to
study the electrical contact behavior. The rough surface is generated by using a two …

Contact and friction are closely related as friction cannot happen without contact. They are
widely used in mechanical engineering, traffic, and other fields. The real contact surface is …

The size distribution of contact spot areas is critical for the evaluation of contact behavior of
rough surfaces. A size distribution law proposed by Mandelbrot has been used widely in …

Contact interfaces widely exist in mechanical structures from macroscopic to microscopic
scales and play an important role in understanding the properties and dynamics of the …

The contact calculation of three-dimensional real rough surfaces is the frontier field of
tribology and surface science. In this study, we consider the interaction and elastic-plastic …

Modeling the elasto-plastic contact between rough interfaces may require high
computational effort as real surfaces present broad roughness spectra. In this work, we …

In this paper, a theoretical model to calculate the torsional stiffness of flange-spigot structure
is established. Specifically, this model comprehensively considers the non-uniform contact …

During the bolt installation process of interference-fit composite structure, the bolt will come
to contact with the composite, forming the contact interface. Understanding the topography …

Contact parameters such as the real contact area of rough surfaces depend on the
interaction between asperities and the characteristic scale in which they remain. The high …
