We propose an approach to describe the propagation of a crack (or boundary of an adhesive contact) in a viscoelastic material which is only based on the consideration of the rheology of the material without the introduction of any…
A polymer network can imbibe water, forming an aggregate called hydrogel, and undergo large and inhomogeneous deformation with external mechanical constraint. Due to the large deformation, nonlinearity plays a crucial role, which also…
We consider the equilibrium equations for a linearized Cosserat material and provide two perspectives concerning well-posedness. First, the system can be viewed as the Hodge Laplace problem on a differential complex. On the other hand, we…
The effect of self-affine roughness on solid contact is examined with molecular dynamics and continuum calculations. The contact area and normal and lateral stiffnesses rise linearly with the applied load, and the load rises exponentially…
We present a unified classical treatment of partially constrained elastic rods. Partial constraints often entail singularities in both shapes and reactions. Our approach encompasses both sleeve and adhesion problems, and provides simple and…
Soft adhesive contacts are ubiquitous in nature and are increasingly used in synthetic systems, such as flexible electronics and soft robots, due to their advantages over traditional joining techniques. While methods to study the failure of…
Non-degenerate real hypersurfaces of almost Hermite-like manifolds are examined. Tangential real hypersurfaces are introduced and the main identities of such hypersurfaces are obtained. With the help of these identities, contact metric…
Two models for quasistatic adhesive unilateral contact delaminating in mixed fracture mode, i.e. distinguishing the less-dissipative Mode I (opening) from the more-dissipative Mode II (shearing), and allowing rigorous mathematical and…
We propose a statistical model for static and sliding friction between rough surfaces. Approximating the contact between rough surfaces by the contact of an ensemble of one-dimensional viscoelastic elements with a rough rigid surface, we…
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…
We present an embedding approach based on localized basis functions which permits an efficient application of the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) to inhomogeneous correlated materials, such as semi-infinite surfaces and heterostructures.…
A quantitative understanding of how cells interact with their extracellular matrix via molecular bonds is fundamental for many important processes in cell biology and engineering. In these interactions, the deformability of cells and matrix…
Based on the thermodynamic variation to the free energy functional, we propose a sharp-interface model for simulating solid-state dewetting of thin films on rigid curved substrates in two dimensions. This model describes the interface…
An extended elastic eigenvector approach for adatom interactions is applied to elastically isotropic substrates. The oscillating interactions between adatom monomers or dimers are caused by strain fields in the substrate. Expansive or…
The aim of this article is to prove asymptotic shape theorems for the contact process in stationary random environment. These theorems generalize known results for the classical contact process. In particular, if H_t denotes the set of…
By means of contact-density chain-growth simulations, we investigate a simple lattice model of a flexible polymer interacting with an attractive substrate. The contact density is a function of the numbers of monomer-substrate and…
Quasiperiodic arrangements of the constitutive materials in composites result in effective properties with very unusual electromagnetic and elastic properties. The paper discusses the cut-and-projection method that is used to characterize…
Soft adhesive pads are needed for many robotics applications, and one approach is based on electroadhesion. Here we present a general analytic model and numerical results for electroadhesion for soft solids with arbitrary time-dependent…
It has recently been suggested that many contact mechanics problems between solids can be accurately studied by mapping the problem on an effective one dimensional (1D) elastic foundation model. Using this 1D mapping we calculate the…
Recent experiments (Guan et al. 2016a,b) showed many interesting phenomena on dynamic contact angle hysteresis while there is still a lack of complete theoretical interpretation. In this work, we study the time averaging of the apparent…
