Effect of an axial pre-load on the flexural vibrations of viscoelastic beams
Elena Pierro
Polymers are ultra-versatile materials that adapt to a myriad of applications, as they can be designed appropriately for specific needs. The realization of new compounds, however,…
A new technique for the characterization of viscoelastic materials: theory, experiments and comparison with DMA
Elena Pierro, Giuseppe Carbone
In this paper we present a theoretical and experimental study aimed at characterizing the hysteretic properties of viscoelastic materials. In the last decades viscoelastic material…
Damping control in viscoelastic beam dynamics
Elena Pierro
Viscoelasticity plays a key role in many practical applications and in different reasearch fields, such as in seals, sliding-rolling contacts and crack propagation. In all these co…
Thermal fuctuations and dynamic modelling of a dAFM cantilever
Elena Pierro, Francesco Bottiglione, Giuseppe Carbone
We discuss the Brownian thermal noise which affects the cantilever dynamics of a dAFM (dynamic atomic force microscope), both when it works in air and in presence of water. Our sco…
Loading-unloading hysteresis loop of randomly rough adhesive contacts
Giuseppe Carbone, Elena Pierro, Giuseppina Recchia
In this paper we investigate the loading and unloading behavior of soft solids in adhesive contact with randomly rough profiles. The roughness is assumed to be described by a self-…
