On the dependency of rubber friction on the normal force or load: theory and experiment
G. Fortunato, V. Ciaravola, A. Furno +3
In rubber friction studies it is often observed that the kinetic friction coefficient μ depends on the nominal contact pressure p. We discuss several possible origins of the pressu…
Supplementary material to: Finite-size effects in the interfacial stiffness of rough elastic contacts
Lars Pastewka, Nikolay Prodanov, Boris Lorenz +3
In this supplementary materials section, we provide (i) additional information on the numerical simulations of the main work, (ii) the derivation of all prefactors in the analytica…
Finite-size scaling in the interfacial stiffness of rough elastic contacts
Lars Pastewka, Nikolay Prodanov, Boris Lorenz +3
The total elastic stiffness of two contacting bodies with a microscopically rough interface has an interfacial contribution K that is entirely attributable to surface roughness. A…
Fluid squeeze-out between rough surfaces: comparison of theory with experiment
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
We study the time dependency of the (average) interfacial separation between an elastic solid with a flat surface and a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface, squeezed together…
Fluid squeeze-out between solids with rough surfaces
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
We study the fluid squeeze-out from the interface between an elastic solid with a flat surface and a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface. As an application we discuss fluid s…
On the dependence of the leak-rate of seals on the skewness of the surface height probability distribution
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
Seals are extremely useful devices to prevent fluid leakage. We present experimental result which show that the leak-rate of seals depend sensitively on the skewness in the height…
