Thermal contact resistance with non-uniform interface pressures

This work considers the effect of roughness and waviness on interfacial pressure distributions and interfacial contact resistance. It is shown that for moderate roughness the contour area could be substantially different from the contour area calculated using the Hertzian theory. The model for press...
