Effect Of Surface

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of surface roughness characterized by fractal geometry on squeeze film damping characteristics in damper of the linear rolling guide, which has not been studied so far. Design/methodology/approach – The stochastic model of film thickness between rail and damper is established by using the two-variable Weierstrass–Mandelbrot function defining multi-scale and self-affinity properties of the rough surface topography. The stochastically averaged Reynolds equation is solved by using the variables separation method to further derive the film pressure distribution, the damping coefficient, the damping force and squeeze film time. The effect of surface roughness on squeeze film damping characteristics of the damper is analyzed and discussed through simulation. Findings – By comparing cases of the rough surface for different fractal parameters and the smooth surface, it is shown that for the isotropic roughness structure, the presence of surface roughness of the damper decreases the squeeze film damping characteristics. It is found that roughness effect on the damping coefficient is associated with the film thickness. In addition, the vibration amplitude effect is negligible for the damper of the linear rolling guide. Originality/value – To investigate the random surface roughness effect, the rough surface topography of damper of the linear rolling guide is characterized by using the fractal method instead of the traditional mathematical statistics method.

Roughness Effect

The effects of surface roughness on the stresses in an alumina scale formed on a Fecralloy substrate are investigated. Spherical indenters were used to create indents with different radii and depths to represent surface roughness and then the roughness effect was studied comprehensively. It was found that the residual stresses in the alumina scale formed around the rough surface are almost constant and they are dominated by the curvature rather than the depth of the roughness. Oxidation changes the surface roughness. The edge of the indent was sharpened after oxidation and the residual stress there was released presumably due to cracking. The residual stresses in the alumina scale decrease with increase in oxidation time, while the substrate thickness has little effect, given that the substrate is thicker than the alumina scale. Furthermore, the effect of roughness on the oxide growth stress is analysed. This work indicates that the surface roughness should be considered for evaluation of stresses in coatings.

A two-dimensional homogeneous random surface { y ( X )} is generated from another such surface { z ( X )} by a process of smoothing represented by y ( X ) = ∫ ∞ d u w ( u – X ) z ( u ), where w ( X ) is a deterministic weighting function satisfying certain conditions. The two-dimensional autocorrelation and spectral density functions of the smoothed surface { y ( X )} are calculated in terms of the corresponding functions of the reference surface { z ( X )} and the properties of the ‘footprint’ of the contact w ( X ). When the surfaces are Gaussian, the statistical properties of their peaks and summits are given by the continuous theory of surface roughness. If only sampled values of the surface height are available, there is a corresponding discrete theory. Provided that the discrete sampling interval is small enough, profile statistics calculated by the discrete theory should approach asymptotically those calculated by the continuous theory, but it is known that such asymptotic convergence may not occur in practice. For a smoothed surface { y ( X )} which is generated from a reference surface { z ( X )} by a ‘good’ footprint of finite area, it is shown in this paper that the expected asymptotic convergence does occur always, even if the reference surface is ideally white. For a footprint to be a good footprint, w ( X ) must be continuous and smooth enough that it can be differentiated twice everywhere, including at its edges. Sample calculations for three footprints, two of which are good footprints, illustrate the theory.

Abstract Present study investigates the roughness effect on laminar gas flow for microchannels ranging from 40 to 600 μm with various roughness heights (40–82 nm) by systematical experiments. The micro-channels are manufactured by micro-machining technology and KOH anisotropic etching is employed to achieve various roughness patterns. Experimental results shows that higher product levels of Reynolds number (Reh) and friction factor (f) are obtained for microchannels of larger size and smaller relative roughness and friction factor f approaches to laminar flow theory value f0 for very smooth channel but the ratio of (f/f0) decreases as the surface roughness increases.

Effect Of Surface

In this paper the effect of surface roughness on the performance of counter flow microchannel heat exchanger has been numerically investigated. The studied Microchannel heat exchanger is a square shape and made of aluminum as substrate material with different values of hydraulic diameters (20, 50, 110, 150 ) μm. The working fluid used is water  at constant properties. Roughness- viscosity model has been used to study the roughness effect with 0.14 ratio of roughness to hydraulic diameter.  The results obtained indicate that pressure drop of (CFMCHX) increased with increasing surface roughness and decrease hydraulic diameter also the results showed that there is a slight increasing in thermal performance with increasing the surface roughness.
