• A “re-vitalized” Greenwood and Williamson model of elastic contact between fractal surfaces (2006, background): “also the conclusion of all recent theories and numerical calculations of elastic contact of fractal surfaces (Borri-Brunetto et al., 1998; Manners, 2000; Greenwood, 1996; Ciavarella et al., 2000, 2001; Persson, 2001a, b; Greenwood and Wu, 2001) within of course the framework of elastic infinitesimal”
• A Review of Elastic–Plastic Contact Mechanics (2017, background): “After some early turmoil [189,190], in recent years researchers appear to be coming to a consensus of what a valid elastic rough surface contact model looks like and which of those in the literature meet these expectations [191–196] (except perhaps when adhesion is considered [197]).”
• Quantitative characterization of surface topography using spectral analysis (2016, background): “However, the central problem [33] of applying these analytical contact models to real-world surfaces is that it is not possible to determine a perfect description of surface topography as a continuous map of heights.”
