Influence of non-hydrodynamic forces on the elastic response of an ultra-thin soft coating under fluid-mediated dynamic loading
Pratyaksh Karan, Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty, Suman Chakraborty
The force between two approaching solids in a liquid medium becomes increasingly large with decreasing separation, a phenomenon that prevents contact between the two solids. This g…
