Evolution of the Contact Area with Normal Load for Rough Surfaces: from Atomic to Macroscopic Scales
Abstract The evolution of the contact area with normal load for rough surfaces has great fundamental and practical importance, ranging from earthquake dynamics to machine wear. This work bridges the gap between the atomic scale and the macroscopic scale for normal contact behavior. The real contact...
