Rough_surface_generation_and_viscoelastic_contact

This repository contains Jupyter notebooks and related materials focused on the generation of rough surfaces and the study of contact area evolution between self-affine viscoelastic rough surfaces.

The work presented here is closely related to the master thesis of Zichen Li, conducted under the supervision of Lucas Frérot and Renald Brenner at D'Alembert Institute.

Key topics covered include:

• Rough Surface Generation: Implementation of algorithms for creating self-affine surfaces with controlled statistical properties.
• Contact Area Evolution: Analysis of the dynamic changes in contact areas under varying loading conditions, incorporating viscoelastic material behavior.

Feel free to explore the notebooks, and don't hesitate to contribute or raise issues if you have suggestions or questions!
