A technical report on the surface-energy and morphology-based screening for electrode/electrolyte interface compatibility in SOFC/ReSOC materials

Guido Violano, Luciano Afferrante

The performance and durability of solid oxide fuel cells and reversible solid oxide cells are strongly affected by the electrode-electrolyte interface, where charge transfer, ionic…

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…

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…

Role of viscoelasticity in the adhesion of mushroom-shaped pillars

Guido Violano, Savino Dibitonto, Luciano Afferrante

Mushroom-shaped pillars have been extensively studied for their superior adhesive properties, often drawing inspiration from natural attachment systems observed in insects. Typical…
