This is the Final Technical Report of the project The Joint Effect of Surface Microtopography and Near Surface Structure on Microcontact Conditions The purpose of this project was to extend, apply, and evaluate the usefuleness of, microcontact models for assessing the tribological performance of machine elements in rolling/sliding contact. Because of their projected importance to the field of energy conservation, emphasis was placed on application to ceramic and coated specimens. The project was multi-institutional as well as multi-disciplinary with technical contributions in testing and the evaluation of specimens by the Argonne National Laboratory (G. Fenske), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (P. Blau), and the University of Michigan (K. Ludema and Layo Ajayi). To accomplish the Project aims it was necessary to extend the state-of-the-art of microcontact modelling. 59 refs., 46 figs., 35 tabs.
