We consider two methods for treating elastic contact problems with the finite element method; the penalty method and Nitsche's method. For the penalty method we discuss how the penalty parameter should be chosen. Both the theoretical…
A simple but general analysis of stability of axis-symmetric adhesive contacts is provided. Adhesion is considered in the JKR-approximation. Depending on the shape of the contacting bodies, various scenarios are possible, including…
We investigate elastic-plastic adhesive wear via a continuum variational phase-field approach. The model seamlessly captures the transition from perfectly brittle, over quasi-brittle to elastic-plastic wear regimes, as the ductility of the…
We study the fluid-mediated approach of a deformable axisymmetric object towards a rigid substrate, focusing on how its shape influences contact formation. For low approach velocities and large Stokes numbers, we show that sharper profiles…
We present a new formulation of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for simulating the non-adhesive and adhesive contact between an indenter of arbitrary shape and an elastic half-space coated with an elastic layer of different material. We…
We develop two new continuum contact models for coupled adhesion and friction, and discuss them in the context of existing models proposed in the literature. Our new models are able to describe sliding friction even under tensile normal…
We present our recent study on rough adhesive contacts of viscoelastic materials in steady-state sliding, focusing on the interplay between adhesion and viscoelasticity by means of a novel energy approach. We investigate tribological…
Understanding contact between rough surfaces undergoing plastic deformation is crucial in many applications. We test Persson's multiscale contact mechanics theory for elastoplastic solids, assuming a constant penetration hardness. Using a…
Softer means stickier for solid adhesives, because material compliance facilitates close contact between non-conformal surfaces. Recent discoveries have revealed that soft materials can exhibit a rich array of new physics arising from…
In this paper, we consider a dynamic viscoelastic contact problem with friction and wear, and describe it as a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. We formulate the previous problem as a hyperbolic quasi-variational…
In this work we consider the elasticity problem for two domains separated by a heterogeneous layer. The layer has an $\varepsilon-$periodic structure, $\varepsilon\ll1$, including a multiple micro-contact between the structural components.…
We develop several configuration interaction approaches for characterizing the electronic structure of an adsorbate on a metal surface (at least in model form). When one can separate adsorbate from substrate, these methods can achieve a…
Lattice networks are indispensable to study heterogeneous materials such as concrete or rock as well as textiles and woven fabrics. Due to the discrete character of lattices, they quickly become computationally intensive. The QuasiContinuum…
The Johnson--Kendall--Roberts model of frictionless adhesive contact is extended to the case of a thin transversely isotropic elastic layer bonded to a rigid base. The leading-order asymptotic models are obtained for both compressible and…
We revisit the classic problem of an elastic solid with a two-dimensional wavy surface squeezed against an elastic flat half-space from infinitesimal to full contact. Through extensive numerical calculations and analytic derivations, we…
In this supplementary materials section, we provide (i) additional information on the numerical simulations of the main work, (ii) the derivation of all prefactors in the analytical theory, and (iii) unpublished experiments of the contact…
A dynamic wetting problem is studied for a moving thin fiber inserted in fluid and with a chemically inhomogeneous surface. A reduced model is derived for contact angle hysteresis by using the Onsager principle as an approximation tool. The…
The deformation of a soft substrate by a straight contact line is calculated, and the result applied to a static rivulet between two parallel contact lines. The substrate is supposed to be incompressible (Stokes like description of…
This paper explores the electrical and thermal conductivity of complex contact spots on the surface of a half-space. Employing an in-house Fast Boundary Element Method implementation, various complex geometries were studied. Our…
Insects, pick-and-place manufacturing, engineered adhesives, and soft robots employ soft materials to stick to surfaces even in the presence of roughness. Experiments show that the force required for making contact is lower than for…
