In the generalized ubiquitiformal Sierpinski...

... contribute in carrying the imposed load. The plastic deformation of asperities during the running-in is taken into consideration. In the application of the load-sharing method, it is often assumed that asperity heights have a Gaussian distribution. This assumption has been relaxed in this model. Prediction...

...Kyosuke Ono; Masami Yamane We numerically investigated the characteristics of contact force, adhesion force, and contact stiffness between a smooth contact pad and a small rough surface, such as a current magnetic disk surface. The computer-generated asperity had an isotropic Gaussian distribution...

Two different cases are presented to produce composite surfaces with particles; the first case is particles sitting on a surface...

The layers are expressed as functions of the standard deviations of each surface to characterize flow patterns between both rough surfaces. Velocity variations and heat...

A Gaussian distribution is usually assumed for the summit heights as many surfaces have a Gaussian distribution of surface heights. In this work...
