Abstract

We conducted 3D elastic contact analysis of a sharkskin surface pattern for the characteristic assessment of biomimetic shark skin structure pattern for engineering applications. Rough sharkskin surfaces of similar size with real shark skin scales are generated numerically. Under the assumption of the contact of a plate on the generated sharkskin surface, contact performances such as contact pressure, real contact area, and surface separation are evaluated.
