Asperity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asperity implies the inequality or roughness of the surface of any body, whereby some parts of it stick out beyond the rest, increasing the surface friction of any object moving over it. This stands opposed to smoothness or polish. Most theories for explaining friction rely on a description of the behaviour of surface asperities.
