An interesting recent paper by Menga, Carbone & Dini (MCD, 2018, [1]), suggests that in sliding adhesive contacts, the contact area should increase due to tangential shear stresses at the interface, assumed to be constant and corresponding…
The dynamic initiation of sliding at planar interfaces between deformable and rigid solids is studied with particular focus on the speed of the slip front. Recent experimental results showed a close relation between this speed and the local…

Semi-discrete transport can be characterized in terms of real-valued shifts. Often, but not always, the solution to the shift-characterized problem partitions the continuous region. This paper gives examples of when partitioning fails, and…

Plasticity in hexagonal close-packed zirconium is controlled by screw dislocations which easily glide in the prismatic planes where they are dissociated. At high enough temperatures, these dislocations can deviate out of the prism planes to…
In this paper the model for a highly viscous droplet sliding down an inclined plane is analyzed. It is shown that, provided the slope is not too steep, the corresponding moving boundary problem possesses classical solutions. Well-posedness…
We show that certain mixed displacement/traction problems (including live pressure tractions) of nonlinear elastostatics that are solved by a homogeneous deformation, admit no other classical equilibrium solution under suitable constitutive…
