On how to determine surface roughness power spectra
N. Rodriguez, L. Gontard, C. Ma +2
Analytical contact mechanics theories depend on surface roughness through the surface roughness power spectrum. In the present study, we evaluated the usability of various experime…
Air leakage in seals with application to syringes
N. Rodriguez, A. Tiwari, B. N. J. Persson
We study the leakage of air in syringes with Teflon coated rubber stopper and glass barrel. The leakrate depends on the interfacial surface roughness, the viscoelastic properties o…
Fast Beam Conditions Monitor BCM1F for the CMS Experiment
A. Bell, E. Castro, R. Hall-Wilton +8
The CMS Beam Conditions and Radiation Monitoring System, BRM, will support beam tuning, protect the CMS detector from adverse beam conditions, and measure the accumulated dose clos…
Viscoelastic crack propagation: review of theories and applications
N. Rodriguez, P. Mangiagalli, B. N. J. Persson
We review a theory of crack propagation in viscoelastic solids. We consider both cracks in infinite systems and in finite sized systems. As applications of the theory we consider t…
