Contact Stiffness of Machine Components and the Influence of the Microgeometry of the Contact Surfaces on It

Resumo

The use of characteristics of the contact stiffness in the scientific literature to describe a discrete contact between machine components under normal and tangential loading has been analyzed. The application of a model of the discrete contact of rough surfaces, as well as the influence of the parameters of the contact surface microgeometry on the contact stiffness under normal and tangential loadings and shear has been studied.
