Finite-temperature properties of the Frenkel-Kontorova model: Relation to tribological systems and fluid rheology
Shubham Agarwal, Martin H. Müser
The Frenkel-Kontorova model is a simple yet generic framework for the description of tribological phenomena and processes, including dry solid friction and the motion of adsorbed l…
Significance of Elastic Coupling for Stresses and Leakage in Frictional Contacts
Christian Müller, Martin H. Müser, Giuseppe Carbone +1
We study how the commonly neglected coupling of normal and in-plane elastic response affects tribological properties when Hertzian or randomly rough indenters slide past an elastic…
On the shear-thinning of alkanes
Hongyu Gao, Martin H. Müser
The approximate power-law dependence of the apparent viscosity of liquids on shear rate is often argued to arise from a distribution of energy barriers. However, recent work on the…
Revealing the co-action of viscous and multistability hysteresis in an adhesive, nominally flat punch: A combined numerical and experimental study
Christian Müller, Manar Samri, René Hensel +2
Viscoelasticity is well known to cause significant hysteresis of crack closure and opening when an elastomer is brought in and out of contact with a flat, rigid, adhesive counterfa…
Crack and pull-off dynamics of adhesive, viscoelastic solids
Martin H. Müser, Bo N. J. Persson
When quickly detaching an elastomer from a counterface, viscoelasticity dramatically increases the perceived adhesion relative to its adiabatic or equilibrium value. Here, we repor…
Comparing simulated specific heat of liquid polymers and oligomers to experiments
Hongyu Gao, Tobias P. W. Menzel, Martin H. Mueser +1
The specific heat is a central property of condensed matter systems including polymers and oligomers in their condensed phases. Yet, predictions of this quantity from molecular sim…
