Thanks to a recent extension of the Cattaneo-Mindlin analogy to the solution of tangential contact between non-convex domains, the proposed approach enables the study of cyclic micro-slip and energy dissipation between elastic bodies with general shapes in contact. In order to make the procedure straightforward and as general as possible, a non-dimensional formulation, based only on the normal contact load displacement curve, is proposed. The cyclic behaviour of the tangential contact of self-affine fractal surfaces, like those generated by fracture of concrete or rock, is described with several examples. publisher: Springer date: 2006 type: Book Section type: PeerReviewed identifier: Borri Brunetto, Mauro and Carpinteri, Alberto and Invernizzi, Stefano and Paggi, Marco Micro-slip of rough surfaces under cyclic tangential loading.
