Abstract:
At present, the process of designing dry friction units for mechanical engineering and some other structures
is becoming more and more laborious, forcing designers to make more and more efforts in this work. A significant
complication of the work performed gives the random nature of the roughness of both contacting surfaces and this
circumstance forces the designers to look for new ways to solve existing problems. In this paper, we consider the
contact interaction of two rough parts, the roughness of which is modeled by spherical surfaces. The proposed
friction pair model makes it possible to estimate the interaction forces of contacting rough surfaces acting
between the considered surfaces. It should be emphasized that this paper considers the interaction of contacting
bodies with an applied external force capable of starting the relative movement / sliding of the considered bodies
with rough surfaces.
