... corresponding to a given mean separation. The topographies of a surface obtained from the theoretical prediction of different separations show the probability density function of asperity heights to be no longer the Gaussian distribution. Both the fractal dimension and the topothesy are elevated by increasing...

... at different mean separations. The probability density function of asperity heights, achieved at a different mean separation, was obtained from experimental results as a non-Gaussian distribution; it is expressed as a function of the skewness and the kurtosis. The relationship between skewness and mean...

...Volodymyr Pauk Plane contact problem of a punch sliding over a half-space is considered. The surface of the half-space is assumed to be rough and the roughness heights have the Gaussian distribution. The heat generation due to the friction is taken into account. The problem is reduced to nonlinear...

... and eigenfunctions Gaussian distribution Since the celebrated work of Eshelby 1 2 3 on the elastic state of inclusions and inhomogeneities, extensive work on this subject has appeared in various forms. Following Mura 4 , we define an inclusion to be a bounded volume located in a material with identical...

... of the classical Preisach weighting function, an approximation of equal “up” and “down” switching probabilities is introduced, which greatly simplifies the evaluation of the correlation coefficients. An example of the Preisach hysteretic system with Gaussian distribution weighting function is presented...
