FRACTAL CHARACTERISTIC AND DOMAIN EXTENSION FACTOR STUDY ON CONTACT MODEL OF ROUGH SURFACE

Abstract

Machine joint surface has an important impact on the performance of mechanical systems. Based on fractal theory, joint surface is assumed to be the contact between absolute smooth surface and rough surface. Through the analysis of the contact process, the contact mechanics model, the contact stiffness model and the three-dimensional surface micro-contact model are studied. To obtain fractal characteristic, the factors and laws affecting the contact characteristics are indicated through digital simulation. The concept of micro-convex body hierarchy is proposed. The critical values are related to the scale of micro-convex bodies and affected by the property parameters of the material. It is proved that the critical point is smooth and continuous, the parameter characteristics of the critical point are determined and the error between prediction and practice is reduced. In the integral calculation of the model, the experimental constants are also established to facilitate the calculation. The results show that the contact process of rough surface is consistent with the actual contact. It makes up the deficiency of KE model by considering the interaction between micro-convex bodies.
