Non-contact adhesion to self-affine surfaces: A theoretical model

Strength of adhesion between materials is known to be strongly influenced by interface irregularities. In this work, I devise a perturbative approach to describe the effect of self-affine roughness on non-contact adhesive interactions. The hierarchy of the obtained analytical solutions is the following. First, analytical formulae are deduced to describe roughness corrections to the van der Waals interaction energies between a hemi-space adherend, bounded by a self-affine surface, and a point-like adherent. Second, the problem of two hemi-spaces, one of which has a planar surface, and the other is bounded by a self-affine surface, is solved analytically. In the latter case, a numerical analysis is performed to delineate the behavior of the roughness corrections as a function of the parameters, characterizing self-affine fractal surface roughness. The problem of two hemi-spaces, both bounded by self-affine fractal surfaces, is also addressed in this work. The model?s predictions are compared with previously reported theoretical results and available experimental data.     

Near-field speckles produced by random self-affine surfaces and their contrast transitions

By use of a numerical calculation based on Green's integral equation, we study the near-field speckles produced by the random self-affine fractal surfaces of a dielectric medium. The speckle intensities evolve considerably in the near-field region, and the local fluctuations in them disappear before they have traversed the distance of a wavelength. The transition of the speckle contrast either on the surface or in the near field and in the neighborhood non-near-field regions depends on lateral correlation length xi and roughness exponent alpha of the random surfaces.     

A Monte Carlo method for simulating fractal surfaces

A Monte Carlo method is presented for simulating rough surfaces with the fractal behavior. The simulation is based on power-law size distribution of asperity diameter and self-affine property of roughness on surfaces. A probability model based on random number for asperity sizes is developed to generate the surfaces. By iteration, this method can be used to simulate surfaces that exhibit the aforementioned properties. The results indicate that the variation of the surface topography is related to the effects of scaling constant G and the fractal dimension D of the profile of rough surface. The larger value of D or smaller value of G signifies the smoother surface topography. This method may have the potential in prediction of the transport properties (such as friction, wear, lubrication, permeability and thermal or electrical conductivity, etc.) on rough surfaces.

The autocorrelation of speckles in deep Fresnel diffraction region and characterizations of random self-affine fractal surfaces

This paper studies the correlation properties of the speckles in the deep Fresnel diffraction region produced by the scattering of rough self-affine fractal surfaces. The autocorrelation function of the speckle intensities is formulated by the combination of the light scattering theory of Kirchhoff approximation and the principles of speckle statistics. We propose a method for extracting the three surface parameters, i.e. the roughness w, the lateral correlation length ξ and the roughness exponent α, from the autocorrelation functions of speckles. This method is verified by simulating the speckle intensities and calculating the speckle autocorrelation function. We also find the phenomenon that for rough surfaces with α= 1, the structure of the speckles resembles that of the surface heights, which results from the effect of the peak and the valley parts of the surface, acting as micro-lenses converging and diverging the light waves.     

断裂表面自相似与自仿射复杂分形结构的研究

The optical near-field speckles and their first order statistics on the basis of the integral equations of electromagnetic field

Speckle fields are the random light wave distributions produced when the light fields are scattered from random surfaces or a random medium. They appear in many optical phenomena that are related to light propagations[1,2] and have found wide appli-cations in a variety of scientific and technical fields. The examples of the recent impor-tant applications of speckles include the analysis of the movement of the granules[3], the three-dimensional imaging for the microstructures of metal nanocryst…     

Influence of surface roughness on superhydrophobicity

Superhydrophobic surfaces, with a liquid contact angle theta greater than 150 degrees , have important practical applications ranging from self-cleaning window glasses, paints, and fabrics to low-friction surfaces. Many biological surfaces, such as the lotus leaf, have a hierarchically structured surface roughness which is optimized for superhydrophobicity through natural selection. Here we present a molecular dynamics study of liquid droplets in contact with self-affine fractal surfaces. Our results indicate that the contact angle for nanodroplets depends strongly on the root-mean-square surface roughness amplitude but is nearly independent of the fractal dimension D(f) of the surface.     

Experimental determination of Hurst exponent of the self-affine fractal patterns with optical fractional Fourier transform

The extension of ordinary Fourier transform to the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) was first accomplished by Namias in 1980. He gave a complete mathematical definition and discussed the eigenfunction of the transform. Using a system of lenses Lohmann et al.[1] first successfully realized the FRFT optically and designed the single lens mode and double lens mode for the realization of the FRFT of continuously variable fractional order. The concept of fractals was first proposed by Man…     

Strong water repellency effect on SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> films processed at a nanometric scale

The present study deals with the creation of nano-rough surfaces with stable and controlled high hydrophobicity. These surfaces were obtained by combining the ion track etching technique with a simple functionalization by grafting perfluoroctyltrichlorosilane (PFOTS) molecules. Surface morphology was investigated by AFM observations which evidenced a self-affine fractal structure with a fractal dimension D_f ~ 2.6. The study of the wetting properties of these surfaces allowed to elucidate the conditions for observing a high hydrophobicity phenomenon and to predict the contact angle values for surfaces designed at a nanometric scale.     

Adhesion between elastic bodies with randomly rough surfaces

I have developed a theory of adhesion between an elastic solid and a hard randomly rough substrate. The theory takes into account the fact that partial contact may occur between the solids on all length scales. I present numerical results for the case where the substrate surface is self-affine fractal. When the fractal dimension is close to 2, complete contact typically occurs in the macroasperity contact areas. For a fractal dimension larger than 2.5, the area of (apparent) contact decreases continuously when the magnification is increased.     

Contact force resulting from rolling on a self-affine fractal rough surface

The time dependence of the contact force resulting from the rolling of a sphere on self-affine fractal rough surfaces was investigated using the method of reduction of dimensionality. The main focus was on the part of the spectrum corresponding to the short wavelength corrugation (with a wavelength much smaller than the nominal contact radius). It has been shown that in this domain, the spectral density of the normal force is a power function of frequency. This result can be used for calculation of high frequency acoustic emission of rolling contacts in various technical systems as well as for development of diagnostic systems.     

Hausdorff Dimension for Randomly Perturbed Self Affine Attractors

In this paper we shall consider a self-affine iterated function system in , d ≥ 2, where we allow a small random translation at each application of the contractions. We compute the dimension of a typical attractor of the resulting random iterated function system, complementing a famous deterministic result of Falconer, which necessarily requires restrictions on the norms of the contraction. However, our result has the advantage that we do not need to impose any additional assumptions on the norms. This is of benefit in practical applications, where such perturbations would correspond to the effect of random noise. We also give analogous results for the dimension of ergodic measures (in terms of their Lyapunov dimension). Finally, we apply our method to a problem originating in the theory of fractal image compression. Research of Jordan and Pollicott was supported by the EPSRC and the research of Simon was supported by an EU-Marie Curie grant and the OTKA Foundation #T42496.     

Influence of nanoscale cutoff in random self-affine fractal silver surfaces on the excitation of localized optical modes

We report rigorous numerical calculations of the near field scattered from rough, one-dimensional self-affine fractal silver surfaces. We show that fractal lower-scale cutoff (decreased to the order of tens of nanometers) has a strong effect on excitation and strength of localized optical modes, leading to very large enhancements of the intensity (larger than 10(4)) and fluctuations of the electric field.     

Speckle characteristics of simulated deep Fresnel region under shadowing effect

After the three-dimensional self-affine fractal random surface simulation, we use the optical scattering theory to calculate the deep Fresnel region speckle(DFRS) under consideration of the more strict shadowing effect. The evolution of DFRS with the scattering distance and the intensity probability distribution are studied. It is found that the morphology of the scatterer has an antisymmetric relationship with the intensity distribution of DFRS, and the effect of micro-lenses on the scattering surface causes the intensity probability distribution of DFRS to deviate from the Gaussian speckle in the high light intensity area.     

Elastoplastic contact between randomly rough surfaces

I have developed a theory of contact mechanics between randomly rough surfaces. The solids are assumed to deform elastically when the stress sigma is below the yield stress sigma(Y), and plastically when sigma reaches sigma(Y). I study the dependence of the (apparent) area of contact on the magnification. I show that in most cases the area of real contact A is proportional to the load. If the rough surface is self-affine fractal (Hurst exponent H) the whole way up to the lateral size L of the nominal contact area, then (assuming no plastic deformation) A approximately L(H).     

Self-affine random surfaces

We consider general d-dimensional random surfaces that are characterized by power-law power spectra defined in both infinite and finite spectral regions. The first type of surfaces belongs to the class of ideal fractals, whereas the second possess both the smallest and the largest scales and physically is more realistic. For both types we calculate the structure functions (SF) exactly; in addition for the second type we obtain the SF's asymptotic expansions. On this basis we show that the surfaces are (in statistical sense) self-affine and approximately self-affine, respectively. Depending on the value of the spectral exponent, we find imbalance between the finite size effects which results in systematic discrepancy in the scaling properties between the two types of surfaces. Explicit expressions for the topothesy, and in the case of second type of surfaces for the large correlation length and cross-over distances are also derived.
