Role of Wettability, Adhesion, and Instabilities in Transitions During Lubricated Sliding Friction
Hao Dong, Reshma Siddiquie, Xuemei Xiao +4
Lubricated contacts in soft materials are important in various engineering systems and natural settings. Three major lubrication regimes are boundary (BL), mixed (ML), and elasto-h…
Surface tension and the strain-dependent topography of soft solids
Nicolas Bain, Anand Jagota, Katrina Smith-Mannschott +3
When stretched in one direction, most solids shrink in the transverse directions. In soft silicone gels, however, we observe that small-scale topographical features grow upon stret…
Elastocapillarity: Surface Tension and the Mechanics of Soft Solids
Robert W. Style, Anand Jagota, C. -Y. Hui +1
It is widely appreciated that surface tension can dominate the behavior of liquids at small scales. Solids also have surface stresses of a similar magnitude, but they are usually o…
Indentation of a Rigid Sphere into an Elastic Substrate with Surface Tension and Adhesion
Chung-Yuen Hui, Tianshu Liu, Thomas Salez +2
The surface tension of compliant materials such as gels provides resistance to deformation in addition to and sometimes surpassing that due to elasticity. This article studies how…
Stretching of a Freely Jointed Chain in Two-Dimensions
Sara Iliafar, Dmitri Vezenov, Anand Jagota
Although the stretching of polymers and biomolecules is important in numerous settings, their response when confined to two-dimensions is relatively poorly-studied. In this paper,…
