An efficient iterative analytical-numerical method is proposed for three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic scattering from an inhomogeneous object buried beneath a two-dimensional (2D) randomly dielectric rough surface. In the hybrid method, the electric and magnetic currents on the dielectric rough surface are obtained by current-based Kirchhoff approximation (KA), while the scattering from the inhomogeneous object is rigorously studied by finite element method (FEM) combined with the boundary integral method (BIM). The multiple interactions between the buried object and rough surface are taken into account by updating the electric and magnetic current densities on them. Several numerical simulations are considered to demonstrate the algorithm’s ability to deal with the scattering from the inhomogeneous target buried beneath a dielectric rough surface, and the effectiveness of our proposed method is also illustrated.

The discrete-element model for flows over rough surfaces was recently modified to predict drag and heat transfer for flow over randomly rough surfaces. However, the current form of the discrete-element model requires a blockage fraction and a roughness-element diameter distribution as a function of height to predict the drag and heat transfer of flow over a randomly rough surface. The requirement for a roughness-element diameter distribution at each height from the reference elevation has hindered the usefulness of the discrete-element model and inhibited its incorporation into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. To incorporate the discrete-element model into a CFD solver and to enable the discrete-element model to become a more useful engineering tool, the randomly rough surface characterization must be simplified. Methods for determining characteristic diameters for drag and heat transfer using complete three-dimensional surface measurements are presented. Drag and heat transfer predictions made using the model simplifications are compared to predictions made using the complete surface characterization and to experimental measurements for two randomly rough surfaces. Methods to use statistical surface information, as opposed to the complete three-dimensional surface measurements, to evaluate the characteristic dimensions of the roughness are also explored.

The contact between substrate and micro-cantilever simplified as an ideal flat substrate contact with a micro-cantilever rough surface. A three-dimensional adhesive contact model was established on isotropic rough surfaces exhibiting fractal behavior, and the equivalent plastic strain was discussed using the finite element analysis. The maximum equivalent plastic strain and its depth were presented with the different paths of rough solid when loading. The result show that the equivalent plastic strain versus different depth which at different locations showed different laws, in the top area of the asperities versus different depth, the maximum equivalent plastic strain occurs in the subsurface range about 0.5μm from the surface or on the surface. In addition, with different deformation characteristics, the degree of the equivalent plastic strain was different.. The contact model between micro-cantilever rough surface and flat substrate will lay a foundation to further research on the substance of the process of friction and wear.
