When are rough surfaces sticky?
Lars Pastewka, Mark O. Robbins
At the molecular scale there are strong attractive interactions between surfaces, yet few macroscopic surfaces are sticky. Extensive simulations of contact by adhesive surfaces wit…
On the validity of the method of reduction of dimensionality: area of contact, average interfacial separation and contact stiffness
I. A. Lyashenko, Lars Pastewka, Bo N. J. Persson
It has recently been suggested that many contact mechanics problems between solids can be accurately studied by mapping the problem on an effective one dimensional (1D) elastic fou…
Screened empirical bond-order potentials for Si-C
Lars Pastewka, Andreas Klemenz, Peter Gumbsch +1
Typical empirical bond-order potentials are short ranged and give ductile instead of brittle behavior for materials such as crystalline silicon or diamond. Screening functions can…
