Effect of the density of pillar-patterned substrates on the contact mechanics: Transition from top to mixed contact with a detailed pressure-field description
Rene Ledesma-Alonso, Elie Raphael, Frederic Restagno +1
Different contact regimes between a spherical lens and a periodically patterned substrate are observed, when they are pressed against each other. Top contact occurs when only the h…

Soft-lubrication interactions between a rigid sphere and an elastic wall
Vincent Bertin, Yacine Amarouchene, Elie Raphael +1
The motion of an object within a viscous fluid and in the vicinity of a soft surface induces a hydrodynamic stress field that deforms the latter, thus modifying the boundary condit…
