Abstract Effects of surface texturing on the normal contact stiffness of joint surfaces had been investigated by experiments in many previous researches; however, there are relatively few theoretical models in this regard. The rough surface with surface texturing can be divided into two parts: the textured zone and the remaining zone, and their theoretical models are established respectively in this research. For the textured zone, the texture is modeled theoretically based on the three-dimensional topographic data obtained via a 3D-CCMP1 type laser profilometer from TRIMOS. For the remaining zone, the model of normal contact stiffness is established based on the fractal theory for the surface topography description and elastic-plastic deformation of surface asperities, and the structure function method is used to calculate the fractal dimension of rough surface profiles. In the experiment, the normal contact stiffness of specimens is obtained under different normal loads, and the test results are compared with the theoretical predictions. The result shows that the predictions of proposed theoretical model are in good agreement with the experimental data. For the joint surfaces with Sa>2.69 μm, the normal contact stiffness can be effectively increased through proper surface texturing.

Abstract Effects of surface texturing on the normal contact stiffness of joint surfaces had been investigated by experiments in many previous researches; however, there are relatively few theoretical models in this regard. The rough surface with surface texturing can be divided into two parts: the textured zone and the remaining zone, and their theoretical models are established respectively in this research considering surface morphology and material properties. For the textured zone, micro textures are modeled theoretically based on the three-dimensional topographic data obtained via a VK-X250 type laser profilometer from KEYENCE. For the remaining zone, the model of normal contact stiffness is established based on the fractal theory for the surface topography description and elastoplastic deformation of surface asperities, and the structure function method is used to calculate the fractal dimension of rough surface profiles. In the experiment, the normal contact stiffness of specimens is obtained under different normal loads, and the test results are compared with the theoretical predictions.

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.

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.

The contact stiffness of on the rough surface of tread interaction (tire-track) ,a significant parameter for the tire-track contact surface, gives rise to direct influences on stiffness and noises of tyres. There is no sufficient theoretical support for the wheel face design due to lack of research on this parameter. To solve  this problem, an innovative method based on the fractal theory and the Hertz contact theory is proposed to estimate tread interaction contact stiffness. The fractal theory model is established to research the influencing factors on normal contact stiffness on the tread surface. Finite element analysis and physical tests have been conducted to make comparisons about the model. According to research results, there is a non-linear relationship between the contact stiffness and the fractal dimension. The research provides theoretical basis for tyre dynamics of straddle-type monorail vehicles and design of the track contact dynamics.
