In order to understand the contact property of the end face for mechanical seal, simulation models of the elastic contact area ratio, the elastic-plastic contact area ration and the plastic contact area ratio of the end face are established using fractal parameters to characterize the surface topography. The effects of surface topography fractal parameters of B104a-70 mechanical seal on contact properties of the end faces are analyzed by theoretical simulation. The results show that the elastic contact area ratio increases rapidly at first and then decreases gradually, the elastic-plastic contact area ration decreases rapidly at first and then changes slightly, and the plastic contact area ratio changes slightly at first and then increases gradually with the increases of fractal dimension; the elastic contact area ratio decreases, and both the elastic-plastic contact area ratio and the plastic contact area ratio increase with the increases of the characteristic length scale; the proportion of the elastic contact area is larger, and the proportions of the elastic-plastic contact area and the plastic contact area are smaller when the end face is smooth; there exist an optimal value of fractal dimension between the faces of mechanical seal to make the elastic contact area ratio biggest, and the wear smallest. For B104a-70 mechanical seal, the optimal fractal dimension of the end face of the soft ring is about 1.63.

Dimples have been used in the design of some modern tennis shoe outsoles to enhance sliding ability on hard courts. Experiments were performed with bespoke rubber samples possessing various numbers of holes, which served to simulate dimples in tennis shoe treads. The aim of the research was to assess the effect of contact area on sliding friction. As the ratio of holes to solid rubber increased, a critical ratio was reached whereby the static friction coefficient decreased by more than 11% for tread-to-court pressures comparable to real tennis play. Although this study analyzed bespoke rubber samples and not actual tennis shoe treads, shoe manufacturers should be interested in the existence of a critical dimple ratio that could aid them in the creation of tennis shoes suited for sliding on hard courts.

According to the average flow Reynolds equation and rolling theory, a partial film lubrication model of inlet zone has been developed. The model mainly simulates and reflects the influence of surface topography on the inlet film thickness and inlet zone length. Based on the surface topography analysis, a method to judge the friction condition was proposed. All the calculation was conducted by a numerical method. The result shows that the transverse stripe increases the inlet film thickness and the inlet zone length, while the longitudinal stripe decreases them. The surface roughness will enhance this effect. The surface roughness and the stripe direction also have a significant influence on the contact area ratio and the distribution of stress and film thickness in work zone. Transverse stripe increases the lubricant film thickness and separates the roll and the sheet with a larger distance in work zone. It also decreases the contact area ratio, the pressure stress and friction stress of the work zone. Whereas longitudinal stripe decreases the film thickness and increases the contact area ratio, pressure stress and friction stress. The surface roughness increases the contact area ratio, pressure stress and friction stress.

In order to investigate into the quantitative relationship between the hydrostatic pressure generated within the surface pocket of the workpiece and the normal pressure acting on the real contact area at the interface of metal forming such as drawing, rolling, forging and so on, the hydrostatic pressure is calculated accompanied with reduction in height in upsetting of cylinders having a central conical impression or a central conical dent filled with lubricant on the top surface, using the rigid-plastic finite element method. The formulated is based on the plasticity theory. The material is assumed to be rigid perfectly plastic material. It is assumed that the hydrostatic pressure is generated accompanied with a volume change in the surface pocket for compressible lubricants. The results obtained from the calculation are as follows: (1) The hydrostatic pressure generated within the lubricant in a central conical impression in cylindrical upsetting approaches the yield stress at a reduction in height of about 4 percent; (2) The hydrostatic pressure generated within the lubricant in a central conical dent in cylindrical upsetting having an annular asperity increases linearly and abruptly with increasing height reduction when the contact area ratio is small and the bulk deformation is elastic, and it increases gradually and the maximum value approaches the normal pressure acting on the contact area when the contact area ratio becomes large and the bulk deformation is plastic.

Abstract Purpose The hypothesis of this study is that Dynamic Contact Area Ratio of the humerus and glenoid, measured with CT scans, is significantly reduced in patients with anterior shoulder instability compared to the Dynamic Contact Area Ratio in a control group of people without shoulder instability. Methods Preoperative CT scans of patients who underwent surgery for anterior shoulder instability were collected. Additionally, the radiologic database was searched for control subjects. Using a validated software tool (Articulis) the CT scans were converted into 3-dimensional models and the amount the joint contact surface during simulated motion was calculated. Results CT scans of 18 patients and 21 controls were available. The mean Dynamic Contact Area Ratio of patients was 25.2 ± 6.7 compared to 30.1 ± 5.1 in healthy subjects (p = 0.014). Conclusion Dynamic Contact Area Ratio was significantly lower in patients with anterior shoulder instability compared to controls, confirming the hypothesis of the study. The findings of this study indicate that calculating the Dynamic Contact Area Ratio based on CT scan images may help surgeons in diagnosing anterior shoulder instability. Level of evidence III.

The grain flow lubrication, based on Haff's grain flow theory and the Patir/Cheng flow factors method, is applied in the simulations of rough slider bearings and chemical mechanical polishing. In this paper, the results of flow factor, the performance of rough slider bearings and the mechanism of the CMP process for grain flow are briefly demonstrated. An improved CMP model, considering the partial hydrodynamic grain flow lubrication and elastic-plastic microcontact theory, is also proposed. The contact area ratio and the elastoplastic contact area ratio are presented to improve the understanding of CMP mechanisms.

In this study, a three-body microcontact model for rough surfaces is proposed in order to understand the effects of particles between surfaces on contact characteristics and its application on polishing of wafer. Both transitional surface-to-surface and particle-to-surface two-body microcontact simulations can be obtained according to the simplification of this model. In the three-body contact situation, the curves of contact area ratio versus dimensionless load are located in the range between two straight lines. The surface-to-surface two-body contact situation is the upper bound and the particle-to-surface two-body contact situation is the lower bound. As the value of D/σ increases, the contact situation will approach the pure particle-to- surface 2-body contact situation. The model also is used to study the wear mechanisms of the silicon wafer.

Contact Area Ratio

The evolution of the surface topography and tool-workpiece contact behavior of an aluminum sheet during plastic deformation has been investigated by a series of indentation tests for various loads, strain rates, and bulk strains. A simple formulation for estimating the roughness of the indented surface and a model of asperity flattening have been proposed. Dynamic balance between the flattening and roughening processes, such as changes of asperity angle and spacing, is considered. Theoretical predictions of the variation of real area of contact with strain show good agreement with experiments. It is found that the very different frictional behavior of aluminum compared with steel sheets is due to the serious change of roughness, including asperity angle and spacing. When the angle is small, the increases in asperity angle and spacing have strong effect on increasing the contact area ratio. However, when the asperity angle is large, increased asperity angle has a significant contribution to the resistance to flattening. The asperity flattening velocity and the increasing rate of contact area ratio arise with the prestrain; however, they are not affected by the strain rate significantly. From FFT analysis, low frequency components (below 10 cycle/mm) due to the rotation of single grains or grain groups are observed on free surface during plastic straining. While in the contact area, in all cases, the low frequency components generated by plastic deformation are compressed.
