Abstract
A view of surface contact as the parallel interactions between surfaces doe s not conform to the customary random processes models inherited from commu nications theory. One aspect of the interactions is the effect of local def ormations on neighbouring parts of the surfaces. These correlations are dis tinguished as geometrical and physical. The geometrical interaction is cons idered in this paper, resulting in a discrimination between degrees of peak s interaction. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
