摘要

Due to inherent nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics, dry friction interfaces have a significant impact on the dynamics of jointed structures. When two surfaces are brought into purely normal contact, contact pressure distribution is of high concern. This work focused on the statistics of the contact pressure distribution between a rough surface and a smooth rigid plane, which provides new insight into the interface contact behaviour. First, the fractal rough surface is generated using the Weierstrass–Mandelbrot function with measured roughness parameters. With meshed rough surfaces, an elastic–plastic finite element contact analysis is performed to determine the contact pressure distribution. Then, the results of contact pressure are statistically analysed. The effects of roughness and contact load on contact area, contact stiffness and mean contact pressure are thoroughly investigated. The probability distribution of contact pressure is determined by fitting a continuous function using a twofold Weibull mixture model. The proposed probability distribution function is found to be capable of describing contact pressure. The contact pressure distribution is affected by the surface fractal characteristics and evolves with the contact load.
