An elastic-plastic asperity model for analyzing the contact of rough surfaces is presented. The model is based on volume conservation of an asperity control volume during plastic deformation. Numerical results obtained from this model are compared with other existing models that are either purely elastic or purely plastic. It is shown that these models are limiting cases of the more general elastic-plastic model presented here. Some of the results obtained deviate appreciably from previous analyses which do not consider asperity volume conservation.

The paper describes a theoretical study of elastic-plastic adhesive contact of rough surfaces based on n-point asperity model and accurate finite element analysis (FEA) of elastic-plastic deformation of single asperity contact. The n-point asperity model developed by Hariri et al (2006) is integrated with the elastic-plastic model of . In this study an attempt is made to extend the work of by incorporating intermediate elastic-plastic regime of deformation. A large range of interference values ranging from fully elastic through elastic-plastic to fully plastic deformation of contacting asperities is considered. The effect of varying load and material parameters is analyzed in terms of well established adhesion index and plasticity index. A comparison between the present analysis with that of model shows significant difference in load–separation behaviour depending on combinations of mean separation, adhesion index and plasticity index.

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.

The paper describes a theoretical study of adhesive wear based on accurate finite element analysis (FEA) of elastic-plastic contact of single asperity and n-point asperity model. The wear model developed considers wear particle generation in whole range of deformation, ranging from fully elastic through elastic-plastic to fully plastic. Well defined adhesion index and plasticity index are used to study the prospective situations arising out of variation in load, material properties, and surface roughness. It is observed that the wear volume at particular level of separation increases with increase in plastic deformation and adhesion effect. Materials having higher tendency to adhesion show higher wear rate. Trend of the results obtained is found in line with the existing solutions which are modeled with conventional asperity concept. Inclusion of separate formulations for intermediate state of deformation of asperities which are based on accurate FEA study gives complete solution.

In this paper, we use a deterministic multi-asperity model to investigate the elastic contact of rough spheres. Synthetic rough surfaces with controllable spectra were used to identify individual asperities, their locations and curvatures. The deterministic analysis enables to capture both particular deformation modes of individual rough surfaces and also statistical deformation regimes, which involve averaging over a big number of roughness realizations. Two regimes of contact area growth were identified: the Hertzian regime at light loads at the scale of a single asperity, and the linear regime at higher loads involving multiple contacting asperities. The transition between the regimes occurs at the load which depends on the second and the fourth spectral moments. It is shown that at light indentation the radius of circumference delimiting the contact area is always considerably larger than Hertzian contact radius. Therefore, it suggests that there is no scale separation in contact problems at light loads. In particular, the geometrical shape cannot be considered separately from the surface roughness at least for approaching greater than one standard roughness deviation.
