A finite element based electrical resistance study for rough surfaces: Applied to a bi-layered Au/MWCNT composite for micro-switching applications
A gold coated multi-walled carbon nanotube (Au/MWCNT) composite has been used as a surface material in electrical contacts to improve the lifetime of micro-switches. A modified nano-indentation setup, with a 2 mm-diameter gold coated stainless steel probe making contact with the Au/MWCNT composite, has been used to investigate the electrical behavior of the composite. The contact forces are ranged from 0.2 mN to 2 mN. A finite element (FE) contact model is developed, linked to the nano-indentation tests. The composite is modeled as a bi-layered structure, and surface roughness is included in the modeling. The contact area is calculated from the modeling. The effective resistivity for the surface is used to determine the contact resistance, using the Holm equation. The calculated force-resistances are based on a number of assumptions and show the same trend as the experimental results.
