We study the distribution of interfacial separations at the contact region between two elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces. An analytical expression is derived for the distribution of interfacial separations using Persson’s theory of contact mechanics, and is compared to numerical solutions obtained using (a) a half-space method based on the Boussinesq equation, (b) Green’s function molecular dynamics technique and (c) smartblock classical molecular dynamics. Overall, we find good agreement between all the different approaches.
