| contents | When two bodies get into contact, only a small portion of the apparent area is actually involved in producing contact and friction forces, because of the surface roughnesses. It is therefore crucial to accurately describe the morphology of rough surfaces for instance by extracting the fractal dimension and the so-called Hurst exponent which is a typical signature of rough surfaces. This can be done using harmonic decomposition, which is easy for periodic and nominally flat surfaces since Fourier transforms allow fast and reliable decomposition. Yet, it remains a challenging task in the general curved and non-periodic cases, where more appropriate basis functions must be used. In this work, disk harmonics based on Fourier-Bessel basis functions are employed for decomposing open single-edge genus-0 surfaces (no holes) as a practical and fast alternative to characterise self-affine rough surfaces with the power Fourier-Bessel spectral density. An analytical relationship between the power spectrum density decay and the Hurst exponent is derived through an extension of the Wiener-Khinchin theorem, in the special case where surfaces are assumed self-affine and isotropic. Finally, this approach is demonstrated to successfully measure the fractal dimension, and the Hurst exponent, without introducing typical biases coming from basis functions boundary conditions, surface discretisation or curvature of the surface patches. This work opens the path for contact mechanics studies based on the Fourier-Bessel spectral representation of curved and rough surface morphologies. All implementation details for this method are available under GNU LGPLv3 terms and conditions. |
