"Research in thermal contact resistance at MIT and advances made during the past year are summarized. The problem of predicting cortact resistance is examined in an analysis of a model for the contact which relates the geometry of actual surfaces in contact to the contact model, and a deformation analysis which relates the contact geometry to the load carried by the surfaces. Experimental procedures are described and are applied to two stainless steel surfaces in contact and to W and graphite surfaces in contact. A significant result is that a surface may be described by two measurable parameters which may …

Description
"Research in thermal contact resistance at MIT and advances made during the past year are summarized. The problem of predicting cortact resistance is examined in an analysis of a model for the contact which relates the geometry of actual surfaces in contact to the contact model, and a deformation analysis which relates the contact geometry to the load carried by the surfaces. Experimental procedures are described and are applied to two stainless steel surfaces in contact and to W and graphite surfaces in contact. A significant result is that a surface may be described by two measurable parameters which may be combined with two such parameters of any other surface to completely determine the geometry of the interface if they are placed in contact. It thus remains to construct a device which will readily measure these two parameters."
