Normal contact stiffness model considering 3D surface topography and actual contact status [PDF]
A normal contact stiffness model considering 3D topography and elastic–plastic contact of rough surfaces is presented in this paper. The asperities are generated from the measured surfaces using the watershed segmentation and a modified nine-point ...

Modeling the Contact Mechanics of Hydrogels [PDF]
A computationally lean model for the coarse-grained description of contact mechanics of hydrogels is proposed and characterized. It consists of a simple bead-spring model for the interaction within a chain, potentials describing the interaction between monomers and mold or confining walls, and a coarse-grained potential reflecting the solvent-mediated ...

An asperity-based finite element model for electrical contact of microswitches [PDF]
Precise prediction of electrical contact resistance is important for microswitches. The contact spot used to beconsidered as a circle in earlier literature, where there was only one geometrical parameter: the radius of the a-spots.

Finite element based surface roughness study for ohmic contact of microswitches [PDF]
Finite element method (FEM) is used to model ohmic contact in microswitches. A determinist approach is adopted, including atomic force microscope (AFM) scanning real contact surfaces and generating rough surfaces with three-dimensional mesh.
