Two comments on adhesion
A. Tiwari, J. Wang, B. N. J. Persson
The adhesion paradox refers to the observation that for most solid objects no adhesion can be detected when they are separated from a state of molecular contact. The adhesion parad…
Cylinder-flat contact mechanics during sliding
J. Wang, A. Tiwari, I. M. Sivebaek +1
Using molecular dynamics (MD) we study the dependency of the contact mechanics on the sliding speed when an elastic block (cylinder) with a surface height profi…
On the origin of sliding friction: Role of lattice trapping
J. Wang, A. Tiwari, I. M. Sivebaek +1
Using molecular dynamics we study the dependence of the friction force on the sliding speed when an elastic slab (block) is sliding on a rigid substrate with a …
Sphere and cylinder contact mechanics during slip
J. Wang, A. Tiwari, I. Sivebaek +1
Using molecular dynamics (MD) we study the dependency of the contact mechanics on the sliding speed when an elastically soft slab (block) is sliding on a rigid substrate with a ${\…
The statistical characteristics of static friction
J. Wang, G. F. Wang, W. K. Yuan
Friction is one of the fundamental issues in physics, mechanics and material science with lots of practical applications. However, the understanding of macroscopic friction phenome…
