Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As contact area increase, real contact and lubrication flow deviate from mixed lubrication theory based on the independent asperity contact hypothesis. In this project, contact mechanics and lubricant flow between contacting rough surfaces under high contact ratio condition have been addressed. Contact analysis for non-Gaussian distributed rough surfaces have been performed by nonlinear finite element structural analysis, and flow between contacting rough surfaces have been calculated numerically for Reynolds equation problem. Contact area, interspace, and flow rate for 3D fabricated rough surfaces have been measured by total reflection method, contrasting density of dye, and gravimetric technique, respectively. As a result, skewness, which is a parameter for non-Gaussian distribution, have a significant influence on the conflation of contact area and leak flow rate, Low flow rate measured and calculate for negative value of skewness which is observed for truncated rough surfaces.
