The present study investigates the adsorption performance and adsorption mechanism of Sinogastromyzon szechuanensis on different rough surfaces. The different positions of the sucker surface of Sinogastromyzon szechuanensis were observed by adopting the stereomicroscope and SEM. The observed results showed that the sucker of Sinogastromyzonszechuanensis had a multilevel structure of villi and groove. The anterior and posterior of Sinogastromyzonszechuanensis had different microscopic morphologies. The surface roughness of the adsorption substrate ranged from 7 μm to 188 μm. Adsorption strength of Sinogastromyzonszechuanensis and the conventional sucker on different rough surfaces were measured by a purposely designed device. The results showed that the back of Sinogastromyzonszechuanensis mainly provided the adsorption strength. The adsorption strength of the conventional sucker gradually decreased with surface roughness increasing, but the adsorption strength of Sinogastromyzon szechuanensis had not changed significantly. Based on the experimental results, the adsorption mechanism of Sinogastromyzonszechuanensis on the surface with different roughness was analyzed by the spectral function. The Sinogastromyzonszechuanensis sucker with a multilevel structure worked well on the rough surface, which led to Sinogastromyzonszechuanensis with a good sealing on the rough surface. The present work could help to develop a new type of sucker with effective adsorption performance on a rough surface to meet the needs of the engineering field.

A this paper the influence of surface roughness on contact angles in the system of liquid Al wetting solid surfaces of Al2O3 has been studied. It was observed that contact angles of liquid Al vary significantly on different rough surfaces of Al2O3. A model is proposed to correlate contact angles with conventional roughness measurements and wavelengths by assuming a cosine profile of rough grooves with a Gaussian distribution of amplitudes. In comparison with the experimental results, the model provides a good estimate for describing the influence of surface roughness on contact angles of liquid Al on Al2O3.

Most models of surface contact consider the surface roughness to be on one of the contacting surfaces only. The authors give a general theory of contact between two rough plane surfaces. They show that the important results of the previous models are unaffected: in particular, the load and the area of contact remain almost proportional, independently of the detailed mechanical and geometrical properties of the asperities. Further, a single-rough-surface model can always be found which will predict the same laws as a given two-rough-surface model, although the required model may be unrealistic. It does not seem possible to deduce the asperity shape or deformation mode from the load-compliance curve.

The effect of surface roughness on the fouling behavior of calcium carbonate is experimentally investigated. The real operating conditions of a tubular heat exchanger are simulated by performing prolonged experiments with duration of 3 to 7 days. The solution used is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and calcium chloride in de-ionized water with the concentration of 0.4 g/l of each. An on-line fouling evaluation system was developed such that the fouling resistance for a selected solution could be measured in real time. The experiments are repeated with the same procedure for 90/10 Cu/Ni tubes with different internal surface roughness. After the experiment the surface is analyzed by analytical microscopy to investigate the morphology of the deposit layer. Comparison of the experimental results of smooth and rough surfaces shows that a combination of aragonite and calcite polymorphs are formed on rough surface while only dendritic porous aragonite crystals are formed on smooth surface. Accordingly, the deposit layer formed on rough surface is denser and has a higher thermal resistance comparing to that formed on smooth surface. The fouling factor-time curves of smooth and rough surfaces obtained by the current experimental study agree with the results found by the analytical microscopy of the surface and show higher fouling resistances for rough surface. Experimental data is significantly important for the design, and formulating operating, and cleaning schedules of the equipment.

ABSTRACTWell characterized rough surfaces of aluminum films have been studied by the nondestructive technique of Spectroscopie Ellipsometry (SE). The roughness of the aluminum specimens had been characterized earlier by Total Integrated Scattering and Stylus Profilometry techniques to obtain numerical estimates of ras roughness and autocovariance lengths. The present SE measurements on these specimens were carried out at a number of angles of incidence in the range 30–80° and at a number of discrete wavelengths in the spectral range 300–650nm. The SE results were then analyzed by the scalar theory of diffraction from random rough surfaces by treating the surface as a simple random rough surface. The results of such analyses of the SE measurements are compared with the results of the earlier characterization techniques.

The fluid magnetic abrasives (FMA) are a new type of precision finishing abrasives which are developed on the basis of the phase transition phenomenon caused by magnetic field. The rheological effect of FMA is the basis to achieve its finishing function, and has a great impact on the finishing capabilities and the final surface roughness. In order to get a better understanding of FMA finishing mechanism, the rheological effect models of FMA are deduced for the first time, the simulations and the experimental results are discussed as well in this paper.

Abstract A fretting wear model of rough surface that conforms to the actual situation is established to accurately reveal the wear mechanism of the connection structure. In the ABAQUS software, the UMESHMOTION subroutine and the energy dissipation model are used to simulate the fretting wear of double rough surfaces. The new model, a single rough surface model, and a smooth model are compared to analyze the differences between them. In addition, the influence of surface roughness, material, and friction coefficient on the fretting wear of rough surfaces is systematically explored through finite element simulation. The results show that the reliability of the model has been verified through Hertz’s theory and experiments. The stress and wear of the contact surface are more realistically reflected by the double roughness model. Besides, with the increase of surface roughness and material rigidity and the decrease of friction coefficient, the wear of the double rough surface model becomes more severe. The research work provides a theoretical basis for the design and performance prediction of the connection structure.

To understand the tripological contact phenomena, both mathematical and experimental models are needed. In this work, fractal mathematical models are used to model the experimental results obtained from literature. Fractal geometry, using a deterministic Cantor structure, is used to model the surface topography, where recent advancements in thermoviscoelastic creep contact of rough surfaces are introduced. Various viscoelastic idealizations are used to model the surface materials, for example, Maxwell, Kelvin-Voigt, Standard Linear Solid and Jeffrey media. Such media are modelled as arrangements of elastic springs and viscous dashpots in parallel and/or in series. Asymptotic power laws, through hypergeometric series, were used to express the surface creep as a function of remote forces, body temperatures and time. The introduced models are valid only when the creep approach of the contact surfaces is in the order of the size of the surface roughness. The obtained results using such models, which admit closed-form solutions, are displayed graphically for selected values of the systems' parameters; the fractal surface roughness and various material properties. Results obtained showed good agreement with published experimental results, where the utilized methodology can be further extended to the utilization for the contact of surfaces within micro- and nano-electronic devices, circuits and systems.

Contact stiffness is an important parameter for describing the contact behavior of rough surfaces. In this study, to more accurately describe the contact stiffness between grinding surfaces of steel materials, a novel microcontact stiffness model is proposed. In this model, the novel cosine curve-shaped asperity and the conventional Gauss distribution are used to develop a simulated rough surface. Based on this simulated rough surface, the analytical expression of the microcontact stiffness model is obtained using contact mechanics theory and statistical theory. Finally, an experimental study of the contact stiffness of rough surfaces was conducted on different steel materials of various levels of roughness. The comparison results reveal that the prediction results of the present model show the same trend as that of the experimental results; the contact stiffness increases with increasing contact pressure. Under the same contact pressure, the present model is closer to the experimental results than the already existing elastic–plastic contact (CEB) and finite-element microcontact stiffness (KE) models, whose hypothesis of a single asperity is hemispherical. In addition, under the same contact pressure, the contact stiffness of the same steel material decreases with increasing roughness, whereas the contact stiffness values of different steel materials under the same roughness show only small differences. The correctness and accuracy of the present model can be demonstrated by analyzing the measured asperity geometry of steel materials and experimental results.

This paper investigates the radar image statistics of rough surfaces by simulating the scattered signal’s dependence on the surface roughness. Statistically, the roughness characteristics include the height probability density (HPD) and, to the second-order, the power spectral density (PSD). We simulated the radar backscattered signal by computing the far-field scattered field from the rough surface within the antenna beam volume in the context of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. To account for the non-Gaussian height distribution, we consider microscopic details of the roughness on comparable radar wavelength scales to include specularly, singly, and multiply scatterers. We introduce surface roughness index (RSI) to distinguish the statistical characteristics of rough surfaces with different height distributions. Results suggest that increasing the RMS height does not impact the Gaussian HPD surface but significantly affects the Weibull surface. The results confirm that as the radar frequency increases, or reaches a relatively larger roughness, the surface’s HPD causes significant changes in incoherent scattering due to more frequent multiple scattering contributions. As a result, the speckle move further away from the Rayleigh model. By examining individual RSI, we see that the Gaussian HPD surface is much less sensitive to RMS height than the Weibull HPD surface. We demonstrate that to retrieve the surface parameters (both dielectric and roughness) from the estimated RCS, less accuracy is expected for the non-Gaussian surface than the Gaussian surface under the same conditions. Therefore, results drawn from this study are helpful for system performance evaluations, parameters estimation, and target detection for SAR imaging of a rough surface.
