On the flash temperature in sliding rubber contacts
B. N. J. Persson
We present an analytical theory for the flash temperature for viscoelastic solids sliding on rigid and randomly rough surfaces. The theory takes into account the surface roughness…
On the flash temperature in sliding contacts
M. H. Müser, B. N. J. Persson
The temperature increase in the contact regions between solids in sliding contact can easily reach several hundred Kelvin and thereby dramatically affect friction and wear. The cla…
Capillary adhesion between elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces
B. N. J. Persson
I study how the contact area and the work of adhesion, between two elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces, depend on the relative humidity. The surfaces are assumed to be hydr…
Contact mechanics: contact area and interfacial separation from small contact to full contact
C. Yang, B. N. J. Persson
We present a molecular dynamics study of the contact between a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface and an elastic block with a flat surface. The numerical calculations mainly…
Influence of surface roughness on superhydrophobicity
C. Yang, U. Tartaglino, B. N. J. Persson
Superhydrophobic surfaces, with liquid contact angle theta greater than 150 degree, have important practical applications ranging from self-cleaning window glasses, paints, and fab…
