Statistics of the separation between sliding rigid rough surfaces: Simulations and extreme value theory approach

Résumé

When a rigid rough solid slides on a rigid rough surface, it experiences a random motion in the direction normal to the average contact plane. Here, through simulations of the separation at single-point contact between self-affine topographies, we characterize the statistical and spectral properties of this normal motion. In particular, its rms amplitude is much smaller than that of the equivalent roughness of the two topographies, and depends on the ratio of the slider's lateral size over a characteristic wavelength of the topography. In addition, due to the non-linearity of the sliding contact process, the normal motion's spectrum contains wavelengths smaller than the smallest wavelength present in the underlying topographies. We show that the statistical properties of the normal motion's amplitude are well captured by a simple analytic model based on the extreme value theory framework, extending its applicability to sliding-contact-related topics.
