Contact mechanics of rough surfaces in tribology: multiple asperity contact

Contact modeling of two rough surfaces under normal approach and with relative motion is carried out to predict real area of contact and surface and subsurface stresses affecting friction and wear of an interface. When two macroscopically flat bodies with microroughness come in contact, the contact occurs at multiple asperities of arbitrary shapes, and varying sizes and heights. Deformation at the asperity contacts can be either elastic and/or elastic-plastic. If a thin liquid film is present at the interface, attractive meniscus forces may affect friction and wear. Historically, statistical models have been used to predict contact parameters, and these generally require many assumptions about asperity geometry and height distributions. With the advent of computer technology, numerical contact models of 3-D rough surfaces have been developed, particularly in the past decade, which can simulate digitized rough surfaces with no assumptions concerning the roughness distribution. In this article, a comprehensive review of modeling of multiple-asperity contacts in dry and wet conditions is presented. Contact models for homogeneous and layered, elastic and elastic-plastic solids with and without tangential loading are presented. The models reviewed in this paper fall into two groups: (a) analytical solutions for surfaces with well-defined height distributions and asperity geometry and (b) numerical solutions for real surfaces with asperities of arbitrary shape and varying size and height distributions. Implications of these models in friction and wear studies are discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

考虑微凸体水平距离分布及相互作用的结合面法向接触刚度建模

在涉及微凸体侧接触的粗糙表面接触建模过程中,通常需要假定微凸体之间侧接触的角度分布规律。提出一种考虑微凸体水平距离分布及相互作用的结合面法向接触刚度建模方法,该方法不再需要假定角度分布规律,而是基于首次发现的单个粗糙表面微凸体水平距离正态分布规律,根据统计学理论进行考虑微凸体相互作用的结合面法向接触刚度建模。对模型进行数字仿真发现：结合面法向接触刚度与接触载荷均随着微凸体水平距离标准差的减小而增大,并且考虑微凸体相互作用会使得结合面的法向接触刚度减小。结合面法向接触刚度随弹性模量的增大而减小,随材料硬度的增大而增大。通过有限元仿真结果与模态试验结果对比可知,基于模型的有限元仿真前三阶固有频率与试验所得结果基本吻合,并且误差相对GZQ模型更小。旨在通过研究单个粗糙表面微凸体水平距离分布,突破侧接触建模时接触角度分布函数仍需假设的理论瓶颈,为更加准确地预测结合面接触特性奠定基础。     

双粗糙平面法向接触建模方法的有限元对比分析

基于统计学方法,Greenwood和Tripp(GT模型)提出双粗糙平面法向接触(双粗模型)可以等效为单粗糙平面与刚性平板之间的接触(单粗模型),但这种等效处理缺乏对接触应力场分析以及材料硬化的考虑。为进一步研究GT模型,基于高斯粗糙表面数字化表征,通过控制自相关长度和滤波方法,得到双粗糙平面及其等效单粗糙平面;借助有限元软件ABAQUS对2组模型法向接触进行建模及分析。结果表明:2组模型预测的接触刚度和接触面积符合较好,但接触压力与接触面积关系存在差异;2组模型预测的等效应力和接触压强的应力幅值以及云图的分布区域大致相近,但双粗模型由于存在大量微凸体侧接触,弱化接触状态以及材料硬化,因而应力幅值偏低。

Elastic and elastic-perfectly plastic analysis of an axisymmetric sinusoidal surface asperity contact

ABSTRACT

Closed-form finite-element empirical models are available for elastic and elastic–plastic spherical and sinusoidal contact. However, some of these models do not consider the effect of interaction with adjacent asperities or require extensive numerical resources because they employ a full 3-D model. Therefore this work has analysed and quantified the behaviour of an elastic and elastic- perfectly plastic axisymmetric sinusoidal surface in contact with a rigid flat for a wide range of material properties and different values of the amplitude to wavelength ratio from initial to complete contact (high load). The numerical results agreed well with the Hertz model and the Jackson–Green elastic–plastic spherical contact model at low loads. Empirical equations for elastic and also elastic-perfectly plastic cases are formulated for the contact pressure, contact area and surface separation. From the current analysis, it is found that it is not any single parameter, but different combinations of material properties and surface roughness that govern the whole contact behaviour. The critical value of the amplitude of the sinusoidal asperity below which it will deform completely elastically from initial to complete contact is established. At low values of amplitude normalized by the critical amplitude, it was found that the contact behaved similar to a spherical contact, with the average pressure (hardness) always remaining lower than three times the yield strength. However, at higher values the average pressure increased toward a value as high as six times the yield strength at complete contact. All of these equations should be useful in rough surface contact modelling, lubrication analysis, electrical contact modelling and in many other applications.     

基于JKR模型的粗糙圆柱表面线黏着接触分析*

利用粗糙平面接触模型,假定表面单个微凸体的接触采用JKR黏着接触模型,同时考虑圆柱体表面的整体变形,建立了粗糙圆柱表面线黏着接触模型,推导出表面等效压力分布方程。把压力方程量纲一化,采用修正Newton-Raphson法对方程进行迭代求解,计算出粗糙圆柱表面存在表面力作用下的等效压力分布曲线。结果表明外载荷不小于零时,接触中心压力为正,微凸体被压缩;而接触边缘处压力为负,微凸体被拉伸,表明黏着区域主要分布在接触边缘。同时计算出接触半宽随外载荷的变化曲线,当外载荷为拉伸力并大于某一临界值时,表面分开。并且与经典的接触模型进行了对比,发现低载时模型之间的差别较大,而载荷比较大时趋于一致。     

A Numerical Model for the Dry Sliding Contact of Layered Elastic Bodies with Rough Surfaces

A numerical model for the two-dimensional dry sliding contact of two elastic bodies with real rough surfaces has been developed, where an elastic body contacts with a multi-layer surface under both normal and tangential forces. The model uses surface profile data directly recorded with a stylus measuring instrument and it is suitable for use on a microcomputer. Green's function for a unit normal load and a unit tangential load for the generalized plane strain problem are derived. Verification of the accuracy of the model by reproduction of test case results is presented. Contact pressure distribution for layers of varying coefficient of friction, thickness and elastic modulus is analyzed.     

粗糙表面弹性微动接触数值研究

由于实际工程表面多为粗糙表面,这里研究了粗糙表面对微动接触中压力和切向应力的影响。研究接触过程中法向载荷保持不变,切向载荷为周期性的交变载荷。首先,建立接触算法和模型,其算法核心是利用共轭梯度法(CGM)计算微动接触中的表面压力及切向应力并使用快速傅里叶变换(FFT)加快计算速度。然后,在验证算法正确的基础上,分析正弦和非高斯粗糙表面接触的压力和切向应力的分布,通过对光滑与粗糙表面的研究对比,表明:(1)在正弦表面接触切向应力分布呈现尺寸效应;(2)在非高斯表面接触中,切向应力分布跟光滑表面形状类似;同时由于粗糙峰存在,粗糙表面下的切向应力比光滑表面下的要大,研究粗糙表面微动接触对实际工程具有重要意义。     

微观随机粗糙表面接触有限元模型的构建与接触分析

基于相关文献提出粗糙表面模拟方法,通过软件工具在ANSYS中建立微观粗糙表面接触有限元模型,利用该模型分析载荷对弹塑性变形和接触面积的影响。结果表明:随着正压力的增大,粗糙表面上不断地有微凸峰与平面发生弹性接触变形,接触斑点(或接触斑点群)的数目逐渐增加,斑点中心区域的弹性变形很快达到最大,微凸峰负荷变形的同时也使斑点四周区域受到挤压;初始接触时,轮廓高度较大的微凸峰率先发生弹性变形,随着压力的增大,金属材料所受应力达到屈服极限同时粗糙表面的弹性变形和塑性变形的集中区域不断增加,真实接触面积不断增大;接触区数目的增多和接触区面积的增加都可以导致接触面上真实接触面积增加;随着压力的增大,真实接触面积的增大并不是由于接触区数目的增多,而是微观接触区面积的增大。

A finite element-based model of normal contact between rough surfaces

Engineering surfaces can be characterized as more or less randomly rough. Contact between engineering surfaces is thus discontinuous and the real area of contact is a small fraction of the nominal contact area. The stiffness of a rough surface layer thus influences the contact state as well as the behavior of the surrounding system. A contact model that takes the properties of engineering surfaces into account has been developed and implemented using finite element software. The results obtained with the model have been verified by comparison with results from an independent numerical method. The results show that the height distribution of the topography has a significant influence on the contact stiffness but that the curvature of the roughness is of minor importance. The contact model that was developed for determining the apparent contact area and the distribution of the mean contact pressure could thus be based on a limited set of height parameters that describe the surface topography. By operating on the calculated apparent pressure distribution with a transformation function that is based on both height and curvature parameters, the real contact area can be estimated when the apparent contact state is known. The model presented is also valid for cases with local plastic flow in the bulk material.     

A molecular dynamics simulation of 3D rough lubricated contact

In this paper, a molecular dynamics simulation of three dimensional rough surface contact under different lubricated conditions was carried out. At atomic scale, mixed lubrication involves nano-asperity contact where the load is supported not only by asperities but also by a sufficient amount of confined lubricant. The contact area and pressure distribution of various lubricated conditions, e.g. dry, partially lubricated and fully lubricated, were presented. It has been found that cavities were formed between upper and lower surfaces under the load, and confined lubricant molecules were able to fill the cavity and support the load, resulting in the decrease of contact area and thus the protection of surface topography.     

A numerical model of friction between rough surfaces

This paper describes a computational method to calculate the friction force between two rough surfaces. In the model used, friction results from forces developed during elastic deformation and shear resistance of adhesive junctions at the contact areas. Contacts occur between asperities and have arbitrary orientations with respect to the surfaces. The size and slope of each contact area depend on external loads, mechanical properties and topographies of surfaces. Contact force distribution is computed by iterating the relationship between contact parameters, external loads, and surface topographies until the sum of normal components of contact forces equals the normal load. The corresponding sum of tangential components of contact forces constitutes the friction force. To calculate elastic deformation in three dimensions, we use the method of influence coefficients and its adaptation to shear forces to account for sliding friction. Analysis presented in Appendix A gives approximate limits within which influence coefficients developed for flat elastic half-space can apply to rough surfaces. Use of the method of residual correction and a successive grid refinement helped rectify the periodicity error introduced by the FFT technique that was used to solve for asperity pressures. The proposed method, when applied to the classical problem of a sphere on a half-space as a benchmark, showed good agreement with previous results. Calculations show how friction changes with surface roughness and also demonstrate the method's efficiency.     

Modeling of fretting wear evolution in rough circular contacts in partial slip

This paper presents a numerical model that maps the evolution of contact pressure and surface profile of Hertzian rough contacting bodies in fretting wear under partial slip conditions. The model was used to determine the sliding distance of the contacting surface asperities for one cycle of tangential load. The contact pressure and sliding distance were used with Archard's wear law to determine local wear at each surface asperity. Subsequently, the contact surface profile was updated due to wear. The approach developed in this study allows for implementation of simulated and/or measured real rough surfaces and study the effects of various statistical surface properties on fretting wear. The results from this investigation indicate that an elastic–perfectly plastic material model is superior to a completely elastic material model. Surface roughness of even small magnitudes is a major factor in wear calculations and cannot be neglected.     

Validation of a simplified numerical contact model

Surface roughness tends to have a significant effect on how loads are transmitted at the contact interface between solid bodies. Most numerical contact models for analyzing rough surface contacts are computational demanding and more computationally efficient contact models are required. Depending on the purpose of the simulation, simplified and less accurate models can be preferable to more accurate, but also more complex, models. This paper discusses a simplified contact model called the elastic foundation model and its applicability to rough surfaces. The advantage of the model is that it is fast to evaluate, but its disadvantage is that it only gives an approximate solution to the contact problem. It is studied how surface roughness influences the errors in the elastic foundation solution in terms of predicted pressure distribution, real contact area, and normal and tangential contact stiffness. The results can be used to estimate the extent of error in the elastic foundation model, depending on the degree of surface roughness. The conclusion is that the elastic foundation model is not accurate enough to give a correct prediction of the actual contact stresses and contact areas, but it might be good enough for simulations where contact stiffness are of interest.
