Surface roughness is main source of error in instrumented microindentation when it is not negligible relative to the indentation depth. The effect of a rough surface on the results of instrumented microindentation testing using spherical indenter was analyzed by applying the contact depth model, which takes surface roughness into account. Improved variations in hardness and Young’s modulus were shown for W and Ni when the results were analyzed by this rough-surface model, while these values were underestimated with increasing surface roughness when analyzed by the flat-surface model. The deformation state of asperities underneath spherical indenter was also discussed.

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.

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.

The effects on the exposure dose of different ground materials and of a ground cover similar to snow were measured for a smooth surface contaminated with 0.66-MeV γ sources (137Cs). Measurements were made also of the effect of a rough surface on the exposure dose. For uniform contamination of a smooth ground, agreement within 10% was obtained with theoretical dose distributions based on infinite-medium calculations. However, even moderate ground roughness reduced the dose at a detector height of 1 meter by a factor of two below its value for a smooth surface. Failure to specify the effect of ground roughness on smooth field calculations as a function of the surface roughness appeared to be the largest source of error in the calculation of exposure dose.

In this paper, a new robust computational method that applies the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) in conjunction with the ray tracing (RT) technique is developed to evaluate the electromagnetic scattering pattern due to a plane wave represented as beam of parallel rays incident on a rough surface of quite arbitrary statistical parameters. The development of the proposed technique is explained in detail taking into consideration the generation of the geometrical model of the rough surface. The Fresnel reflection model is applied under the assumption of arbitrary electrical and optical properties of the rough surface material. Also the polarization of the plane wave primarily incident on the rough surface is taken into consideration. The algorithm developed in the present work accounts for multiple bounces of an incident ray and, hence, it can be considered arbitrary higher-order GTD-RT technique. The accuracy of the obtained results is verified through the comparison with the experimental measurements of the scattering pattern of a light beam incident on rough sheets with specific statistical properties. The numerical results of the present work are concerned with investigating the dependence of the scattering pattern on the surface roughness, refractive index, angle of incidence, and the resolution of the geometric model of the rough surface. Also, it is shown that, for limited resolution of the rough surface model, the accuracy of the calculated scattered field depends on the angle of incidence of the primary beam and the surface roughness.

The aim of this study was to study the effect of surface branching of titanium endoprostheses on the efficiency of fibrointegration. The object of the study was samples of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V in the form of disks with a diameter of 5 mm and a thickness of 1 mm with various surface treatments: 1) samples with a rough surface after sandblasting; 2) samples with a rough surface after sandblasting with a bioactive coating of titanium dioxide TiO2 with anatase structure. The study of surface roughness was carried out by profilometry. Evaluation of the spreading and proliferation of cells on the surface of test samples, as well as evaluation of the effectiveness of fibrointegration was carried out according to standard methods using scanning electron microscopy. During the experiments, mesinchymal stem cells were sown on test samples and the test samples were introduced into the soft tissues of experimental animals. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the technology of forming rough surfaces by sandblasting does not provide high uniformity and reproducibility in the nanometer range and, apparently, another method for obtaining a rough surface should be chosen. The application of a bioactive coating of titanium dioxide TiO2 with the anatase structure to the surface of titanium endoprostheses increases the efficiency of fibrointegration, however, primarily the fibrointegration of titanium endoprostheses depends on their surface roughness, which determines the concentration of cell structures, the intensity of their adhesion and the ability to fibrointegrative process.

The effects of surface roughness on the stresses in an alumina scale formed on a Fecralloy substrate are investigated. Spherical indenters were used to create indents with different radii and depths to represent surface roughness and then the roughness effect was studied comprehensively. It was found that the residual stresses in the alumina scale formed around the rough surface are almost constant and they are dominated by the curvature rather than the depth of the roughness. Oxidation changes the surface roughness. The edge of the indent was sharpened after oxidation and the residual stress there was released presumably due to cracking. The residual stresses in the alumina scale decrease with increase in oxidation time, while the substrate thickness has little effect, given that the substrate is thicker than the alumina scale. Furthermore, the effect of roughness on the oxide growth stress is analysed. This work indicates that the surface roughness should be considered for evaluation of stresses in coatings.

Consideration of surface roughness in steady state EHL line contact is the first step towards understanding the lubrication of rough surface problem. Current paper investigates the use of sinusoidal waviness in the contact; more precisely it gives performance of real fluid in EHL line contact. The effect of various parameters like rolling velocity (U) and maximum Hertzian pressure (ph) on surface roughness by using properties of linear and exponential piezo-viscosity is taken into consideration to evaluate behavior of pressure distribution of load carrying fluid film and film thickness. Full isothermal, Newtonian simulation of EHL problem gives described effects. Spiking or fluctuation of pressure and film thickness curves is expected to show presence of irregularities on the surface chosen and amount of fluctuation depends on certain parameters and intensity of irregularities present. Rolling side domain of-4.5 ≤ X ≤ 1.5 with grid size ∆X=0.01375 is selected. A computer code is developed to solve Reynolds equation, which governs the generation of pressure in the lubricated contact zone is discritized and solved along with load balance equation using Newton-Raphson technique.

Sub-5nm flying head-disk interfaces (HDIs) designed to attain extremely high areal recording densities of the order of Tbit∕in2 are susceptible to strong adhesive forces, which can lead to subsequent contact, bouncing vibration, and high friction. Accurate prediction of the relevant interfacial forces can help ensure successful implementation of ultra-low flying HDIs. In this study, an improved rough surface model is developed to estimate the adhesive, contact, and friction forces as well as the mean contact pressure relevant to sub-5nm HDIs. The improved model was applied to four different HDIs of varying roughness and contact conditions, and was compared to the sub-boundary lubrication rough surface model. It was found that the interfacial forces in HDIs undergoing primarily elastic-plastic and plastic contact are more accurately predicted with the improved model, while under predominantly elastic contact conditions, the two models give similar results. The improved model was then used to systematically investigate the effect of roughness parameters on the interfacial forces and mean contact pressure (response). The trends in the responses were investigated via a series of regression models using a full 33 factorial design. It was found that the adhesive and net normal interfacial forces increase with increasing mean radius R of asperities when the mean separation is small (≈0.5nm), i.e., pseudo-contacting interface, but it increases primarily with increasing root-mean-square (rms) surface height roughness between 2 and 4nm, i.e., pseudo-flying interface. Also, increasing rms roughness and decreasing R, increases the contact force and mean contact pressure, while the same design decreases the friction force. As the directions of optimization for minimizing the individual interfacial forces are not the same, simultaneous optimization is required for a successful ultra-low flying HDI design.

The effects of surface roughness and waviness upon the real contact areas, gaps between contact spots, and asperity contact pressures were studied. The distribution of real areas, gaps, and contact pressures are presented for different surface roughness, σ and correlation lengths, β*. The load-area relationship is compared to Bush’s model of strongly anisotropic rough surface contact using a stochastic approach.
