The contact mechanics challenge: Problem definition
Martin H. Müser, Wolf B. Dapp
We present a contact mechanics problem, which we consider to be representative for contacts between nominally flat surfaces. The main ingredients of the mathematically fully define…

Contact mechanics of and Reynolds flow through saddle points: On the coalescence of contact patches and the leakage rate through near-critical constrictions
Wolf B. Dapp, Martin H. Müser
We study numerically local models for the mechanical contact between two solids with rough surfaces. When the solids softly touch either through adhesion or by a small normal load…
