Through the analysis and research on three fractal models of normal contact stiffness of joint interfaces, the differences between them can be found. Furthermore, numerical simulation was carried out to obtain the complicated nonlinear relations between normal contact stiffness and the normal load. The results show that the normal contact stiffness increases with the normal load, decreases with G but complicatedly varies with D. According to different fractal dimension, we can chose an appropriate one among the three fractal models of normal contact stiffness of joint interfaces when describing normal contact stiffness of joint interfaces.

In this article, according to WenShuHua and Zhangxueniang fractal model, we point out the deficiency. Based on the fractal theory and Zhang, Wens contact stiffness fractal model, this paper puts forward Gamma distribution of rough joint surface normal contact stiffness. This paper considers micro convex body for ellipsoid, contact area for elliptic. This is slightly convex body for sphere hypothesis is more close to the actual situation. At the same time by using statistics theory, considering the contact ellipse long, short axis a and b are greater than zero, the assumption of a and b to two-dimensional Gamma distribution, it is more suitable for engineering practice.

Considering the rough surface as a fractal model makes the research of contact parameters more practical. In the fractal model of the machined surface, the parameters describing the surface topography are independent of the measurement resolution. Based on the elastic, elasto-plastic and plastic deformations of a single pair of contact asperities, a normal contact stiffness model using the fractal model for surface topography description is proposed in this paper. The specimens machined by milling and grinding methods are used to verify the proposed contact stiffness model based on the fractal theory. The experimental and theoretical results indicate that the proposed contact stiffness model is appropriate for the machined joint surfaces.

Measurements with digital image correlation of normal and tangential contact stiffness for ground Ti-6Al-4V interfaces suggest a linear relationship between normal contact stiffness and normal load and a linear relationship between tangential contact stiffness and tangential load. The normal contact stiffness is observed approximately to be inversely proportional to an equivalent surface roughness parameter, defined for two surfaces in contact. The ratio of the tangential contact stiffness to the normal contact stiffness at the start of tangential loading is seen to be given approximately by the Mindlin ratio. A simple empirical model is proposed to estimate both the normal and tangential contact stiffness at different loads for a ground Ti-6Al-4V interface, on the basis of the equivalent surface roughness and the coefficient of friction.

A numerical model was proposed to investigate the contact behaviour of a solid with a rough surface squeezed against a rigid flat plane. We considered simulated hierarchical surface structures as well as scanned surface data obtained by the profilometry of isotropically roughened specimens. The simulated and treated surfaces were characterised using statistical and fractal parameters. The evolution of contact stiffness under increasing normal compression was analysed through the total truncated area at varying heights, in order to relate contact mechanics to different surface parameters employed for surface characterisation. For a relatively small surface interference, the predicted stress-dependent normal contact stiffness of both scanned and simulated surfaces is in good agreement with experimental observation from nanoindentation tests, revealing a power-law function of the normal load, with the exponent of this relationship closely depending on the fractal dimension of rough surfaces. The numerical results show that the amplitude of a fractal rough surface mainly contributes to the magnitude of the contact stiffness at a given normal load.
