Random deposition model with surface diffusion over several next nearest neighbours is studied. The results agree with the results obtained by Family for the case of nearest neighbour diffusion [F. Family, J. Phys. A 19(8), L441, 1986].…
The accurate measurement of fracture resistance in elastomers is essential for predicting the mechanical limits of soft devices. Usually, this is achieved by performing tearing or peeling experiments on thin-sheet samples. Here, we show…
A method of modifying the roughness of soda-lime glass spheres is presented, with the purpose of tuning inter-particle friction. The effect of chemical etching on the surface topography and the bulk frictional properties of grains is…
The effect of etching time scale of glass surface on its statistical properties has been studied using atomic force microscopy technique. We have characterized the complexity of the height fluctuation of a etched surface by the stochastic…
We study the influence of surface roughness on the adhesion of elastic solids. Most real surfaces have roughness on many different length scales, and this fact is taken into account in our analysis. We consider in detail the case when the…
Suspended graphene sheets exhibit correlated random deformations that can be studied under the framework of rough surfaces with a Hurst (roughness) exponent $0.72 \pm 0.01$. Here, we show that, independent of the temperature, the iso-height…
Most natural and man-made surfaces appear to be rough on many length scales. There is presently no unifying theory of the origin of roughness or the self-affine nature of surface topography. One likely contributor to the formation of…
We measure the roughness exponent and the correlation length exponent of a stress-weighted percolation process in the central force model in 2D. The roughness exponent is found to be zeta = 0.75 \pm 0.03 and the correlation length exponent…
A macroscopically nominal flat surface is rough at the nanoscale level and consists of nanoasperities. Therefore, the frictional properties of the macroscale-level rough surface are determined by the mechanical behaviors of nanoasperity…
Roughness of driven elastic interfaces in random media is typically understood to be characterized by a single roughness exponent $\zeta$. We show that at the depinning threshold, due to symmetry breaking caused by the direction of the…
Analytical contact mechanics theories depend on surface roughness through the surface roughness power spectrum. In the present study, we evaluated the usability of various experimental methods for studying surface roughness. Our findings…
The fracture surface of a Ti3Al-based alloy is studied using both an atomic force microscope and a standard scanning electron microscope. Results are shown to be quantitatively comparable. Two fracture regimes are observed. It is shown in…
We study the roughness of stylolite surfaces (i.e. natural pressure-dissolution surfaces in sedimentary rocks) from profiler measurements at laboratory scales. The roughness is shown to be nicely described by a self-affine scaling…
We study experimentally and theoretically the equilibrium adhesive contact between a smooth glass lens and a rough rubber surface textured with spherical microasperities with controlled height and spatial distributions. Measurements of the…
We suggest that the observed large-scale universal roughness of brittle fracture surfaces is due to the fracture process being a correlated percolation process in a self-generated quadratic damage gradient. We use the quasi-static…
Mechanical characterization of shale-like rocks requires understanding the scaling of the measured properties to enable the extrapolation from small scale laboratory tests to field study. In this paper, the size effect of Marcellus shale…
Correlation functions are sensitive to the presence of a boundary. Surface modulations give rise to modified near surface correlations, which can be measured by scattering probes. To determine these correlations, we develop a perturbative…
Recently Jeong and Kim [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 051605 (2002)] investigated the scaling properties of equilibrium self-flattening surfaces subject to a restricted curvature constraint. In one dimension (1D), they found numerically that the…
We present a newly developed approach for the calculation of interfacial stiffness and contact area evolution between two rough bodies exhibiting self affine surface structures. Using spline assisted discretization to define localised…
Inhomogeneities in deposition may lead to formation of rough surfaces, whose height fluctuations can be probed directly by scanning microscopy, or indirectly by scattering. Analytical or numerical treatments of simple growth models suggest…
