In this article, according to WenShuHua and Zhangxueniang fractal model, we point out the deficiency. Based on the fractal theory and Zhang, Wens contact stiffness fractal model, this paper puts forward Gamma distribution of rough joint surface normal contact stiffness. This paper considers micro convex body for ellipsoid, contact area for elliptic. This is slightly convex body for sphere hypothesis is more close to the actual situation. At the same time by using statistics theory, considering the contact ellipse long, short axis a and b are greater than zero, the assumption of a and b to two-dimensional Gamma distribution, it is more suitable for engineering practice.

Through the analysis and research on three fractal models of normal contact stiffness of joint interfaces, the differences between them can be found. Furthermore, numerical simulation was carried out to obtain the complicated nonlinear relations between normal contact stiffness and the normal load. The results show that the normal contact stiffness increases with the normal load, decreases with G but complicatedly varies with D. According to different fractal dimension, we can chose an appropriate one among the three fractal models of normal contact stiffness of joint interfaces when describing normal contact stiffness of joint interfaces.

Considering the rough surface as a fractal model makes the research of contact parameters more practical. In the fractal model of the machined surface, the parameters describing the surface topography are independent of the measurement resolution. Based on the elastic, elasto-plastic and plastic deformations of a single pair of contact asperities, a normal contact stiffness model using the fractal model for surface topography description is proposed in this paper. The specimens machined by milling and grinding methods are used to verify the proposed contact stiffness model based on the fractal theory. The experimental and theoretical results indicate that the proposed contact stiffness model is appropriate for the machined joint surfaces.

Modeling of contact interfaces that inherently include roughness such as joints, clamping devices, and robotic contacts, is very important in many engineering applications. Accurate modeling of such devices requires knowledge of contact parameters such as contact stiffness and contact damping, which are not readily available. In this paper, an experimental method based on contact resonance is developed to extract the contact parameters of realistic rough surfaces under lightly loaded conditions. Both Hertzian spherical contacts and flat rough surfaces in contact under normal loads of up to 1000 mN were studied. Due to roughness, measured contact stiffness values are significantly lower than theoretical values predicted from smooth surfaces in contact. Also, the measured values favorably compare with theoretical values based on both Hertzian and rough contact surfaces. Contact damping ratio values were found to decrease with increasing contact load for both Hertzian and flat surfaces. Furthermore, Hertzian contacts have larger damping compared to rough flat surfaces, which also agrees with the literature. The presence of minute amount of lubricant and wear debris at the interface was also investigated. It was found that both lubricant and wear debris decrease the contact stiffness significantly though only the lubricant significantly increases the damping.
