What is the assumption regarding contact between two surfaces in terms of asperities?
What is the assumption regarding contact between two surfaces in terms of asperities?
- The contact is limited to half of the individual asperity contact areas.
- The contact area is inversely proportional to the normal load.
- The contact occurs where asperities touch, and the true area of contact is equal to the sum of individual asperity contact areas. (correct)
- The contact occurs only when the surfaces are perfectly smooth.
