A computer program is developed to analyze the contact of a rigid smooth plane and computer-simulated elastic rough surfaces. The simulated surfaces have isotropic Gaussian height distribution and bilinear autocorrelation function. Results of two cases are presented: (1) dry contact between a square elastic rough punch and a rigid smooth plane; (2) dry contact between an elastic rough half-space and a rigid smooth plane. Force-compliance relationship is compared with hat derived by Bush, Gibson, and Thomas. Real contact area ratio Aris found to be approximately proportional to nominal contact pressure in the range 0.025 < Ar< 0.3.Presented at the 39th Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois May 7—10, 1984
