On stickiness of multiscale randomly rough surfaces
G. Violano, L. Afferrante, A. Papangelo +1
We derive a very simple and effective stickiness criterion for solids having random roughness using a new asymptotic theory, which we validate with that of Persson and Scaraggi and…
Multistability and localization in forced cyclic symmetric structures modelled by weakly-coupled Duffing oscillators
A. Papangelo, F. Fontanela, A. Grolet +2
Many engineering structures are composed of weakly coupled sectors assembled in a cyclic and ideally symmetric configuration, which can be simplified as forced Duffing oscillators.…
The role of adhesion in contact mechanics
M. Ciavarella, J. Joe, A. Papangelo +1
Adhesive [e.g. van der Waals] forces were not generally taken into account in contact mechanics until 1971, when Johnson, Kendall and Roberts (JKR) generalized Hertz' solution for…
On mixed-mode fracture mechanics models for contact area reduction under shear load in soft materials
A. Papangelo, M. Ciavarella
The fundamental problem of friction in the presence of macroscopic adhesion, as in soft bodies, is receiving interest from many experimentalists. Since the first fracture mechanics…
