Contact between models of rough surfaces containing spherical asperities

A brief introduction to the problem and importance of solid-solid contact as well as to the nature of surface topography is given. A number of experimental techniques, both direct and indirect, for determining the true area of contact between surfaces as well as a number of theories for predicting c...
