Plastic smoothing of rough surfaces
B. N. J. Persson
When two metal blocks are squeezed together the stresses in the asperity contact regions are usually so large that the asperities deform plastically, at least at short length scale…
Flash temperature in sliding contacts: comparing theory with experiments
B. N. J. Persson
The temperature increase in the contact regions between solids in sliding contact has a huge influence on friction and wear. Here we test an analytical theory for the flash tempera…
Surface separation in elastoplastic contacts
Andreas Almqvist, Bo N. J. Persson
Understanding the contact between rough surfaces undergoing plastic deformation is crucial in many applications. We study the effect of plastic deformation on the surface separatio…
Multiscale contact mechanics for elastoplastic contacts
Andreas Almqvist, Bo N. J. Persson
Understanding contact between rough surfaces undergoing plastic deformation is crucial in many applications. We test Persson's multiscale contact mechanics theory for elastoplastic…
On the elastic energy and stress correlation in the contact between elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces
B. N. J. Persson
When two elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces are brought in contact, a very inhomogeneous stress distribution sigma(x) will occur at the interface. Here I study the elastic…
