Stochastic process model of rough surface contact

Yang Xu, Yunong Zhou

The paper reviews Persson's stochastic process model for elastic contact between rough surfaces, explaining how to solve for contact pressure and gap distributions using partial di…

Mass weighting algorithm optimizes Fourier-based physics-informed neural network in adhesive contact mechanics

Yunong Zhou, Kaifeng Huang, Chaofan Du +2

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for elastic contact mechanics suffer from a spectral stiffness imbalance,that is, the elastic kernel grows linearly with wave number, causi…

A stochastic model for elastoplastic contact of rough surfaces incorporating scale-dependent hardness

Yang Xu, Hengxu Song, Jianqiao Hu

The stress concentrations caused by inherent roughness of natural and manufactured surfaces often induce plastic deformation at contact interfaces, a challenge compounded by compet…

Field-theoretical approach to estimate mean gap and gap distribution in randomly rough surface contact mechanics

Yunong Zhou, Hengxu Song, Zhichao Zhang +1

We extend the statistical field-theoretical framework of rough surface contact mechanics to characterize the interfacial gap between an elastic half-space and a randomly rough surf…

Revisiting the diffusion equation derivation in Persson's theory of contact

Yang Xu, Siyuan Yang, Yunong Zhou +1

In Persson's seminal work on tire-road interaction (Persson, J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 115}(8), 2001), he ingeniously derived a diffusion equation in Appendix B to characterize the evolu…
