It is elucidated that under relatively light loads, irregularities of fractal roughness are initially flow until contact marks, increasing in size, move into elastic state, breaking free of fractality. Upon elastic contact, the friction ratio decreases with increasing load, and in case of fractal model, the friction ratio is on the increase with increasing load, while surfaces with a large value of fractal dimension have a decrease in friction ratio growth.

Developed fractal model of engineering surfaces, allowing a certain authenticity to describe irre-gular and complex objects, sufficient to account for most of the peculiarities of the structure of the surface layer rough surface, and use it when solving problems of contact interaction.

Communication of a classical statistical method of an assessment of geometry of rough surfaces and fractal approach is shown. Procedures of modeling of fractal surfaces are described. Adequacy of models to real surfaces is checked on the spectral density and the offered criterion of adequacy. The communication between deformation of microroughness and loading giving a full picture of an elasto-plastic condition of a spot of contact at the set rapprochement is received.

A contact of machinery real engineering surfaces has a complex geometry and is defined by errors at machining, in particular, by macrodeviations, corrugation and roughness. This paper report the consideration carried out on a fluid consumption through an end axisymmetric sealing arrangement formed by a joint of metal surfaces. Sealed environment consumption is defined through a sum of leaks through a slit between surfaces conditioned on corrugation and dripping through a porous layer farmed by surface roughness on contact contour spots. The surface corrugation is modeled by splines according to initial parameters of a corrugation, and as a roughness a surface fractal model is used repeating a real roughness most accurate. On algorithms presented taking into account basic parameters of corrugation and roughness the 3D models of engineering surfaces are created and after their bringing in contact arises a possibility to obtain practically all parameters of contacting defining the impermeability of a sealing arrangement. The application of 3D models allows rendering processes passing in a contact of conjugate surfaces and obtaining some data, for instance, a tortuosity of leaking channels which earlier were chosen according to recommendations which no doubt increases computation accuracy.
