Abstract
It can generally be considered that an actual contact makes an angle with the extension of the contact surface because the tip of a contact element is convex in shape (macroscopically) and has surface roughness (microscopically). The effect of this angle on constriction resistance and contact resistance for a point contact is analyzed theoretically by solving Laplace’s equation subject to boundary conditions determined by a modeled morphology of the contact. The analysis leads to the modified formulas for the constriction resistance and the contact resistance, which show that the effect cannot always be neglected and that the contact model with space angle is useful.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
