Asymmetric height distribution in surface roughness is important in many engineering surfaces, such as in constant velocity (CV) joints, where specific manufacturing processes could result in such surfaces. Even if the initial surfaces exhibit symmetric roughness, the running-in and sliding processes could result in asymmetric roughness distributions. In this paper, the effect of asymmetric asperity height distribution on the static friction coefficient is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The asymmetry of the surface roughness is modeled using the Pearson system of frequency curves. Two elastic-plastic static friction models, the Kogut–Etsion (KE) and Cohen–Kligerman–Etsion (CKE) models are adapted to account for asymmetric roughness and employed to obtain the tangential and normal contact forces. Static friction experiments using CV joint roller and housing surfaces, which exhibit different levels of surface roughness, were performed and directly compared with the KE and CKE static friction models using both a symmetric Gaussian as well as Pearson distributions of asperity heights. It is found that the KE model with the Pearson distribution compares favorably with the experimental measurements.

A model that predicts the static friction for elastic-plastic contact of rough surfaces is presented. The model incorporates the results of accurate finite element analyses for the elastic-plastic contact, adhesion and sliding inception of a single asperity in a statistical representation of surface roughness. The model shows strong effect of the external force and nominal contact area on the static friction coefficient in contrast to the classical laws of friction. It also shows that the main dimensionless parameters affecting the static friction coefficient are the plasticity index and adhesion parameter. The effect of adhesion on the static friction is discussed and found to be negligible at plasticity index values larger than 2. It is shown that the classical laws of friction are a limiting case of the present more general solution and are adequate only for high plasticity index and negligible adhesion. Some potential limitations of the present model are also discussed pointing to possible improvements. A comparison of the present results with those obtained from an approximate CEB friction model shows substantial differences, with the latter severely underestimating the static friction coefficient.

A new statistical model was developed for the normal and tangential contact parameters of rough surfaces based on the elastic—plastic contact theory of asperity. Four deformed regimes of fully elastic, first elastoplastic, second elastoplastic, and fully plastic of an asperity contacting with a rigid surface were taken into account by this model. The present model reveals that the normal and tangential contact parameters of rough surfaces are determined by the material properties of rough surface, statistical parameters for surface topography, and loading. Based on the results comparison and analysis, the present model is shown to be more complete than the GW, CEB, ZMC, and CEB friction models in describing the elastic—plastic contact problems between the rough surfaces. The effects of height distribution of asperities, plasticity index, and loading on contact parameters were simulated and discussed. In addition, the Gaussian numerical results predicted by the present model were researched emphatically.

The asymmetric height distribution in surface roughness is usually indispensable in engineering surfaces prepared by specific manufacturing process. Moreover, the running-in process develops severe asymmetric roughness distribution in the surface interfaces. In this paper, the effect of asymmetric asperity distribution on static friction coefficient is investigated theoretically and by comparing it with experimental results. In order to generate a probability density function of non-Gaussian surface roughness, the Pearson system of frequency curves was used. Subsequently, the Kogut and Etsion (KE) model of elastic-plastic static friction was modified to calculate the contacting interfacial forces. For the experiments, actual roller and housing surfaces from a CV (Constant Velocity) joint were prepared to measure the static friction coefficient as it clearly shows the asymmetry of roughness distribution due to the manufacturing and also running-in process. The experimental measurements were subsequently compared with the modified KE static friction model with Gaussian as well as Pearson distributions of asperity heights. It was found that the model with Pearson distribution captures the experimental measurements well in terms of the surface conditions.

The elastic-plastic contact between a deformable sphere and a rigid flat during pre-sliding is studied experimentally. Measurements of friction force and contact area are done in real time along with an accurate identification of the instant of sliding inception. The static friction force and relative tangential displacement are investigated over a wide range of normal preloads for several sphere materials and diameters. It is found that at low normal loads the static friction coefficient depends on the normal load in breach of the classical laws of friction. The pre-sliding displacement is found to be less than 5 percent of the contact diameter, and the interface mean shear stress at sliding inception is found to be slightly below the shear strength of the sphere material. Good correlation is found between the present experimental results and a recent theoretical model in the elastic-plastic regime of deformation.

Three dimensional elastic-plastic contact of two nominally flat rough surfaces is considered. Equations governing the shoulder-shoulder contact of asperities are derived based on the asperity-asperity constitutive relations from a finite element model of their elastic-plastic interaction. Shoulder-shoulder asperity contact yields a slanted contact force consisting of both tangential (parallel to mean plane) and normal components. Multiscale modeling of the elastic-plastic rough surface contact is presented in which asperity-level FE-based constitutive relations are statistically summed to obtain total force in the normal and tangential direction. The equations derived are in the form of integral functions and provide expectation of contact force components between two rough surfaces. An analytical fusion technique is developed to combine the piecewise asperity level constitutive relations. This is shown to yield upon statistical summation the cumulative effect resulting in the contact force between two rough surfaces with two components, one in the normal direction and a half-plane tangential component.

A novel static friction model for the unlubricated contact of random rough surfaces at micro/nano scale is presented. This model is based on the energy dissipation mechanism that states that changes in the potential of the surfaces in contact lead to friction. Furthermore, it employs the statistical theory of two nominally flat rough surfaces in contact, which assumes that the contact between the equivalent rough peaks and the rigid flat plane satisfies the condition of interfacial friction. Additionally, it proposes a statistical coefficient of positional correlation that represents the contact situation between the equivalent rough surface and the rigid plane. Finally, this model is compared with the static friction model established by Kogut and Etsion (KE model). The results of the proposed model agree well with those of the KE model in the fully elastic contact zone. For the calculation of dry static friction of rough surfaces in contact, previous models have mainly been based on classical contact mechanics; however, this model introduces the potential barrier theory and statistics to address this and provides a new way to calculate unlubricated friction for rough surfaces in contact.

The history of the challenge of friction modeling is briefly reviewed. Then this paper focuses on the modeling and simulation study of the friction related dynamics in the Simulink® environment, because Matlab®/Simulink® are popular engineering software tools for both industry and academia. Matlab® and Simulink® are the proprietary products of MathWorks, Inc. In this paper, the static friction models are studied through Simulink® by applying fixed and variable step sizes. The comparison shows that the static Karnopp model is not only numerically tractable but also can be inclusive of the fundamental friction characteristics of both stick slip and correct friction predictions. Finally this paper presents an improved Karnopp model for clutch modeling with the use of Simulink®, and the simulation shows that this model is computationally tractable with smooth dynamics.

In this paper, a stick-slip compensation for the micro-positioning is presented using the statistical rough surface contact model. As for the micro-positioning structure, PZT (lead(Pb) zirconia(Zr) Titanate(Ti)) actuator is used to drive the load for precise positioning with its high resolution incorporating with the PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control algorithm. Since the stick-slip characteristics for the micro structures are highly nonlinear and complicated, it is necessary to incorporate more detailed stick-slip model for the applications involving the high precision motion control. Thus, the elastic-plastic static friction model is used for the stick-slip compensation considering the elastic-plastic asperity contact in the rough surfaces statistically. Mathematical model of the system for the positioning apparatus was derived from the dynamic behaviors of structural parts. Since the conventional piezoelectric actuator generates the short stroke, a bridge-type flexural hinge mechanism is introduced to amplify the linear motion range. Using the proposed smart structure, simulations under the representative positioning motion were conducted to demonstrate the micro-positioning under the stick-slip friction.
