Discrete Element Model

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.

Efficiency and durability are among the top concerns in mechanical design to minimize environmental impact and conserve natural resources while fulfilling performance requirements. Today mechanical systems are more compact, lightweight, and transmit more power than ever before, which imposes great challenges to designers. Under the circumstances, some simplified analyses may no longer be satisfactory, and in-depth studies on mixed lubrication characteristics, taking into account the effects of 3D surface roughness and possible plastic deformation, are certainly needed. In this paper, the recently developed plasto-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (PEHL) model is employed, and numerous cases with both sinusoidal waviness and real machined roughness are analyzed. It is observed that plastic deformation may occur due to localized high pressure peaks caused by the rough surface asperity contacts, even though the external load is still considerably below the critical load determined at the onset of plastic deformation in the corresponding smooth surface contact. It is also found, based on a series of cases analyzed, that the roughness height, wavelength, material hardening property, and operating conditions may all have significant influences on the PEHL performance, subsurface von Mises stress field, residual stresses, and plastic strains. Generally, the presence of plastic deformation may significantly reduce some of the pressure spikes and peak values of subsurface stresses and make the load support more evenly distributed among all the rough surface asperities in contact.
