Theory of fracture initiation and propagation in viscoelastic media
Giuseppe Carbonea, Cosimo Mandriotab, Guido Violanob +2
Crack initiation and propagation are fundamental problems in materials science, often leading to catastrophic failure. While fracture in elastic solids occurs instantaneously above…
Anisotropic shrinkage and finite strains in confined frictional contacts
Marco Ceglie, Cosimo Mandriota, Giuseppe Carbone +2
We report on an experimental investigation of the interplay between friction, contact geometry and finite strains for smooth frictional contacts between rigid spherical glass probe…
Finite deformations induce friction hysteresis in normal wavy contacts
M. Ceglie, G. Violano, L. Afferrante +1
Since Hertz's pioneering work in 1882, contact mechanics traditionally grounds on linear elasticity, assuming small strains and displacements. However, recent experiments clearly h…
Modelling viscoelastic adhesion and friction in sliding contact mechanics
Cosimo Mandriota, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
We present our recent study on rough adhesive contacts of viscoelastic materials in steady-state sliding, focusing on the interplay between adhesion and viscoelasticity by means of…
Viscoelastic peeling of thin tapes with frictional sliding
Marco Ceglie, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
Peeling is one of the most common detachment mechanisms adopted in industrial applications. However, although several experimental investigations have proven the possible occurrenc…
Interfacial performance evolution of ceramics-in-polymer composite electrolyte in solid-state lithium metal batteries
Ao Cheng, Linlin Sun, Nicola Menga +2
The incorporation of ceramics into polymers, forming solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) leads to enhanced electrical performance of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. This i…
Enhancement of adhesion strength in viscoelastic unsteady contacts
Cosimo Mandriota, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
We present a general energy approach to study the unsteady adhesive contact of viscoelastic materials. Under the assumption of infinitely short-range adhesive interactions, we expl…
The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a Rubber-Layer Roller Bearing (RLRB) for vibration isolation
N. Menga, F. Bottiglione, G. Carbone
In this paper, we study the dynamic behavior of a Rubber-Layer Roller Bearing (RLRB) interposed between a spring-mass elemental superstructure and a vibrating base. Thanks to the v…
Modelling the non-steady peeling of viscoelastic tapes
M. Ceglie, N. Menga, G. Carbone
We present a model to study the non-steady V-shaped peeling of a viscoelastic thin tape adhering to a rigid flat substrate. Geometry evolution and viscoelastic creep in the tape ar…
Significance of Elastic Coupling for Stresses and Leakage in Frictional Contacts
Christian Müller, Martin H. Müser, Giuseppe Carbone +1
We study how the commonly neglected coupling of normal and in-plane elastic response affects tribological properties when Hertzian or randomly rough indenters slide past an elastic…
Theory of viscoelastic adhesion and friction
Giuseppe Carbone, Cosimo Mandriota, Nicola Menga
We present a novel theory of the adhesive contact of linear viscoelastic materials against rigid substrates moving at constant velocity. Despite the non-conservative behavior of th…
The role of interfacial friction on the peeling of thin viscoelastic tapes
Marco Ceglie, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
We study the peeling process of a thin viscoelastic tape from a rigid substrate. Two different boundary conditions are considered at the interface between the tape and the substrat…
Nonlinear viscoelastic isolation for seismic vibration mitigation
N. Menga, F. Bottiglione, G. Carbone
The aim of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of nonlinear viscoelastic damping in controlling base-excited vibrations. Specifically, the focus is on investigating the robus…
Exploring the effect of geometric coupling on friction and energy dissipation in rough contacts of elastic and viscoelastic coatings
N. Menga, G. Carbone, D. Dini
We study the frictional behavior of both elastic and viscoelastic thin coatings bonded to a seemingly rigid substrate and sliding against a rough profile in the presence of Coulomb…
