Elasto-plastic contact of fractal surfaces

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics ((LNACM,volume 27))

Abstract

The elasto-plastic normal contact of fractal surfaces is numerically investigated using a halfspace model. Artificial surface data are generated using the structure function, to study the influence of different surface parameters with respect to the load-area relationship and the load-gap relationship. The simulations show that for realistic surface parameters the deformation is always in the plastic range.
