Why soft contacts are stickier when breaking than when making them
Antoine Sanner, Nityanshu Kumar, Ali Dhinojwala +2
Insects, pick-and-place manufacturing, engineered adhesives, and soft robots employ soft materials to stick to surfaces even in the presence of roughness. Experiments show that the…
The surface-topography challenge: Problem definition
Tevis D. B. Jacobs, Nathaniel Miller, Martin H. Müser +1
We present to the community a surface-definition problem, whose solution we consider to be critical for the proper description of contacts between nominally flat surfaces [1,2]. In…
contact.engineering -- Create, analyze and publish digital surface twins from topography measurements across many scales
Michael C. Röttger, Antoine Sanner, Luke A. Thimons +6
The optimization of surface finish to improve performance occurs largely through trial and error, despite significant advancements in the relevant science. There are three central…
Dependence of Adhesive Friction on Surface Roughness and Elastic Modulus
Daniel Maksuta, Siddhesh Dalvi, Abhijeet Gujrati +3
When adhesive elastomeric materials slide over hard rough surfaces at low velocities, there are two primary dissipative mechanisms that control how friction changes with sliding ve…
Hard-material Adhesion: Which Scales of Roughness Matter?
Luke A. Thimons, Abhijeet Gujrati, Antoine Sanner +2
Surface topography strongly modifies adhesion of hard-material contacts, yet roughness of real surfaces typically exists over many length scales. This investigation aims to determi…
