“…This fact suggests that the geometry of such surfaces can be described statistically assuming they are described by a limited number of variables. On the basis of probability theory Whitehouse and Archard [14], Nayak [15,16], Bush, Gibson and Thomas [17] and Bush, Gibson and Keogh [18,19], Sayles and Thomas [20], Whitehouse and Phillips [21][22][23] have made an important advancement in developing the asperity based-model. [24] that the volume of deformed asperities is conserved stimulated Chang, Etsion and Bogy [25] (CEB model) to adopt it in their elasto-plastic model of deformed spheres.…”
