Linear and Nonlinear Normal Interface Stiffness in Dry Rough Surface Contact Measured Using Longitudinal Ultrasonic Waves

When two rough surfaces are loaded together contact occurs at asperity peaks. An interface of solid contact regions and air gaps is formed that is less stiff than the bulk material. The stiffness of a structure thus depends on the interface conditions; this is particularly critical when high stiffne...
