Adhesive contact of model randomly rough rubber surfaces
Vito Acito, Michele Ciavarella, Alexis M Prevost +1
We study experimentally and theoretically the equilibrium adhesive contact between a smooth glass lens and a rough rubber surface textured with spherical microasperities with contr…
The response of jammed packings to thermal fluctuations
Q. Wu, T. Bertrand, M. D. Shattuck +1
We focus on the response of mechanically stable (MS) packings of frictionless, bidisperse disks to thermal fluctuations, with the aim of quantifying how nonlinearities affect syste…
Quasi-static microdroplet production in a capillary trap
M. Valet, L. -L. Pontani, A. M. Prevost +1
We have developed a method to produce aqueous microdroplets in an oil phase, based on the periodic extraction of a pending droplet across the oil/air interface. This interface form…
Non-Amontons-Coulomb local friction law of randomly rough contact interfaces with rubber
D. T. Nguyen, E. Wandersman, A. Prevost +3
We report on measurements of the local friction law at a multi-contact interface formed between a smooth rubber and statistically rough glass lenses, under steady state friction. U…
Normal contact and friction of rubber with model randomly rough surfaces
S. Yashima, V. Romero, E. Wandersman +4
We report on normal contact and friction measurements of model multicontact interfaces formed between smooth surfaces and substrates textured with a statistical distribution of sph…
Soft Lithography using Nectar Droplets
Saheli Biswas, Aditi Chakrabarti, Antoine Chateauminois +3
In spite of significant advances in replication technologies, methods to produce well-defined three dimensional structures are still at its infancy. Such a limitation would be evid…
