...Xianguang Sun Purpose The purpose of this study is to establish a thermal contact conductance model of rough surfaces with inclination based on three-dimensional fractal theory. Design/methodology/approach The effects of contact load, inclination angle, fractal dimensional and fractal...

... a new TCC model between cylindrical surfaces by introducing an effective contact factor. The above studies are based on the two-dimensional fractal theory, but it is unreasonable to describe the three-dimensional asperity of rough surfaces. Therefore, the three-dimensional fractal theory is more in line...
