Abstract
AbstractA model, consisting of the stochastic formulae which describe the relationship between the friction coefficient and the parameters known to be significant in dry friction, is proposed for dry sliding friction between two randomly rough surfaces. The model considers the frictional phenomena which dominate in energy dissipation and which may occur simultaneously between contacting elements. The kind of interaction in a given spot of asperity contact depends on the local energy flux density. The effect of several parameters on the friction coefficient, the real area of contact, and the number of contact spots can be calculated with the FRI‐SIM program. A comparison of the simulation and experimental data shows a convergence of results.
