Abstract:
Combined with the Greenwood Williamson theory, a new fractal contact model
of rough surfaces was established. Based on Archard theory,a fractal model dealing with the
adhesive wear and surface elastic and plastic deformation was established as well by taking into
account the effect of shearing stress on the actural contact surfaces. The relation between wear
and fractal dimension was examined. The results could be helpful to determining optimal surface
dimension and reducing wear and processing cost.
