Influence of twist direction and large deformation on soft material torsional contact
Yucai Hu, Pengfei Li, Michele Ciavarella +2
Shear-induced contact area reduction is widely observed in soft contacts, yet recent torsional experiments have revealed a more complex non-monotonic evolution in which the contact…
Deep learning-based prediction of time-resolved adhesive forces in viscoelastic Hertzian contacts
Ali Maghami, Merten Stender, Michele Ciavarella +1
Fast prediction of the response of adhesive soft viscoelastic contacts represents a current challenge in soft robotics and for gripping and manipulation tasks. Determining the comp…
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…
Multistability and localization in forced cyclic symmetric structures modelled by weakly-coupled Duffing oscillators
A. Papangelo, F. Fontanela, A. Grolet +2
Many engineering structures are composed of weakly coupled sectors assembled in a cyclic and ideally symmetric configuration, which can be simplified as forced Duffing oscillators.…
