Contact mechanics and friction of soft materials: an apparatus combining multi-axes dynamical actuation/measurement and in situ/in operando visualisation
Matthieu Guibert, Antoine Aymard, Cristobal Oliver +8
The mechanics and friction of contact interfaces involving soft materials like gel, rubber or human skin are of both fundamental and applied interest. Recent insights have been mad…
Automated Discovery of Metainterfaces with Tailored Friction Laws
Li Fu, Djibril Gabriel Kashala, D. Dalmas +1
Providing dry solid contacts with on-demand macroscale frictional behaviour remains a formidable challenge in tribology, haptics or robotics. Metainterfaces created from surfaces w…
Non-monotonic evolution of contact area in soft contacts during incipient torsional loading
Bo Zhang, Mariana de Souza, Daniel M. Mulvihill +3
Many properties of soft contact interfaces are controlled by the contact area (e.g. friction, contact stiffness and surface charge generation). The contact area increases with the…
Designing metainterfaces with specified friction laws
Antoine Aymard, Emilie Delplanque, Davy Dalmas +1
Many devices, including touchscreens and robotic hands, involve frictional contacts. Optimizing these devices requires fine control of the interface's friction law. We lack systema…
Adhesion in soft contacts is minimum beyond a critical shear displacement
C. Oliver, D. Dalmas, J. Scheibert
The most direct measurement of adhesion is the pull-off force, i.e. the tensile force necessary to separate two solids in contact. For a given interface, it depends on various expe…
