Contact-Patch-Size Distribution and Limits of Self-Affinity in Contacts between Randomly Rough Surfaces
True contact between solids with randomly rough surfaces tends to occur at a large number of microscopic contact patches. Thus far, two scaling regimes have been identified for the number density n ( A ) of contact-patch sizes A in elastic, non-adhesive, self-affine contacts. At small A,...
