For a given stress state, joint deformation depends on the joint's geometry, including surface roughness, spatial geometry of the contact area, and large-scale topographical features such as dips. Under normal stress, contacting asperities compress, and the half spaces bounding the joint are deformed. A very significant consequence of half-space deformation is that it allows mechanical interaction...
