Enhancement of adhesion strength through microvibrations: modeling and experiments
Michele Tricarico, Michele Ciavarella, Antonio Papangelo
High-frequency micrometrical vibrations have been shown to greatly influence the adhesive performance of soft interfaces, however a detailed comparison between theoretical predicti…

Bulk and fracture process zone contribution to the rate-dependent adhesion amplification in viscoelastic broad-band materials
Ali Maghami, Qingao Wang, Michele Tricarico +3
The contact between a rigid Hertzian indenter and an adhesive broad-band viscoelastic substrate is considered. The material behaviour is described by a modified power law model, wh…
