A New Characterization Method for Rock Joint Roughness Considering the Mechanical Contribution of Each Asperity Order

The morphology of the joint surface is multi-scale, and it can be divided into first-order asperity (waviness) and second-order asperity (unevenness). At present, the joint roughness characterization formula considers only the morphology contribution of waviness and unevenness components and does not fully consider their mechanical contribution. At same time, the relationship between the mechanical contribution and the morphology contribution is...
