Distribution of gaps and adhesive interaction between contacting rough surfaces

Abstract: Understanding the distribution of interfacial separations between contacting rough surfaces is integral for providing quantitative estimates for adhesive forces between them. Assuming non-adhesive, frictionless contact of self-affine surfaces, we derive the distribution of separations between surfaces near the contact edge. The distribution exhibits a power-law divergence for small gaps, and we use numerical simulations with fine resolution to confirm the scaling. The characteristic length scale over which the power-law regime persists is given by the product of the rms surface slope and the mean diameter of contacting regions. We show that these results remain valid for weakly adhesive contacts and connect these observations to recent theories for adhesion between rough surfaces
