Abstract: An elastic-plastic microcontact model, that takes into account the directional nature of surface roughness, is proposed for elliptic contact spots between anisotropic rough surfaces. In addition, ...

Abstract: Scuffing failure phenomenon in sliding lubricated contacts is studied experimentally in this work. Factors influencing the scuffing resistance of rough surfaces, including contact temperature, surface ...

Abstract: Wire bonding is a popular joining technique in microelectronic interconnect. In this study, the effects of applied load, surface roughness, welding power and welding time on bonding strength ...

Abstract: The contact temperature plays an important role in the polishing process, which essentially is a surface contact abrasion process. This paper reports a contact temperature model to predict the ...

Abstract: The surface scuffing occurring in line-contact lubrication is related to the roller’s roughness pattern and asperity height. For surfaces with same contact asperity height, the magnitudes of ...
