Abstract
A realistic and consistent characterization of the topography of rough surfaces represents a crucial point in the modelization of interface phenomena. Many tribologic phenomena, like friction, lubrication and wear of mechanical components, strongly depend on the surface morphology [1]. At the same time, the thermo-electric conductivity between two bodies in contact is intimately related to the interface characteristics. At different scales, the shear strength of rock joints is deeply influenced by the surface morphology and shows a marked dependence on the size of the considered specimen (size-scale effect).
