Abstract: The statistical approach of describing rough surfaces is extended to include the contact of two rough surfaces in which their distribution of asperity heights can either be symmetric or asymmetric, ...

Abstract: The random Gaussian surface model proposed by Nayak is important to many statistical summit-based microcontact models. A Gaussian distribution is usually assumed for the summit heights as many ...

Abstract: The CEB static friction model is extended to include asymmetric distributions of asperity heights, using the normalized one-parameter Weibull distribution. The normal contact, tangential (friction), ...
