Theory of fracture initiation and propagation in viscoelastic media
Giuseppe Carbonea, Cosimo Mandriotab, Guido Violanob +2
Crack initiation and propagation are fundamental problems in materials science, often leading to catastrophic failure. While fracture in elastic solids occurs instantaneously above…
Anisotropic shrinkage and finite strains in confined frictional contacts
Marco Ceglie, Cosimo Mandriota, Giuseppe Carbone +2
We report on an experimental investigation of the interplay between friction, contact geometry and finite strains for smooth frictional contacts between rigid spherical glass probe…
Finite deformations induce friction hysteresis in normal wavy contacts
M. Ceglie, G. Violano, L. Afferrante +1
Since Hertz's pioneering work in 1882, contact mechanics traditionally grounds on linear elasticity, assuming small strains and displacements. However, recent experiments clearly h…
Modelling viscoelastic adhesion and friction in sliding contact mechanics
Cosimo Mandriota, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
We present our recent study on rough adhesive contacts of viscoelastic materials in steady-state sliding, focusing on the interplay between adhesion and viscoelasticity by means of…
Viscoelastic peeling of thin tapes with frictional sliding
Marco Ceglie, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
Peeling is one of the most common detachment mechanisms adopted in industrial applications. However, although several experimental investigations have proven the possible occurrenc…
