Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to establish a fractal model of thermal contact conductance (TCC) of micro-segment gear considering friction coefficient. Design/methodology/approach The influences of friction coefficient, fractal dimension, fractal roughness and contact type on the TCC of the rough surface were studied by using numerical simulation. Findings The results show that with the increase of the friction coefficient, the TCC of the rough surface will decrease. As the fractal dimension increases or the fractal roughness decreases, the rough surface becomes smoother and the TCC becomes larger. Under the same load conditions, the TCC of the internal contact type is greater than that of the external contact type. In engineering practice, the desired TCC can be achieved by changing the contact type. Originality/value A fractal model of TCC of micro-segment gear considering friction coefficient was established in this study. The achievements of this study provide some theoretical basis for the investigation of the TCC of the gear.
