Natural samples are characterized by surface roughness which is intrinsically multi-scale as
depicted by the well known concept of fractal dimension. Nevertheless, surface asperities …

In the fabrication of microelectronic devices, sputtering of thin films leads to isotropic rough
surfaces described by (i) a Gaussian height distribution and (ii) a constant power spectral …

This article reports a research study on sliding electrical contacts of copper–diamond
materials, involving modeling and validation, contact status simulations, and parametric …

Friction plays a key role in the assessment of the safety and stability of mechanical systems
(such as superconducting magnet quench explosion, aerospace vehicle bearing wear, etc.) …
