The interaction between asperities is considered to investigate the contact properties of rough surfaces. This is achieved by adding constraints of overlapping contact spots and the surface energy of solid to the deterministic contact model
and merging them to form an integral one with equivalent area. The effects of the interaction between asperities on the contact area
the number of asperity peaks
the mean asperity-peak radius and height are analyzed through different normal displacements
sampling intervals and roughness values
and compared with the results of independent asperities. The results show that the linearity between contact area and normal load agrees well with existing work
no matter whether the interaction between asperities is taken into account. At small normal displacements and large sampling intervals
the interaction between asperities is almost negligible. However
the interaction may become more significant when larger normal displacements
smaller sampling intervals and different roughness values are applied
leading to the decrease of the number of asperity peaks
and the increase of the contact area
mean asperity-peak radius and peak height in contrast to the results of independent asperities. It can provide an effective method to consider the asperity interaction by introducing geometrical overlap and surface energy of solid.
