Experimental Interpretation of Interfacial Separation and Squeezing Pressure
C. Yang, B. N. J. Persson, J. Israelachvili +1
The logarithmic relation between interfacial separation and squeezing pressure between randomly rough surfaces, has been predicted by both theory and experiment. However, the exper…
Contact mechanics with adhesion: Interfacial separation and contact area
C. Yang, B. N. J. Persson, J. Israelachvili +1
We study the adhesive contact between elastic solids with randomly rough, self affine fractal surfaces. We present molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results for the interfacial st…
Theory of the leak-rate of seals
B. N. J. Persson, C. Yang
Seals are extremely useful devices to prevent fluid leakage. However, the exact mechanism of roughness induced leakage is not well understood. We present a theory of the leak-rate…
Contact mechanics: contact area and interfacial separation from small contact to full contact
C. Yang, B. N. J. Persson
We present a molecular dynamics study of the contact between a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface and an elastic block with a flat surface. The numerical calculations mainly…
Nanodroplets on rough hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces
C. Yang, U. Tartaglino, B. N. J. Persson
We present results of Molecular Dynamics (MD) calculations on the behavior of liquid nanodroplets on rough hydrophobic and hydrophilic solid surfaces. On hydrophobic surfaces, the…
How do liquids confined at the nanoscale influence adhesion?
C. Yang, U. Tartaglino, B. N. J. Persson
Liquids play an important role in adhesion and sliding friction. They behave as lubricants in human bodies especially in the joints. However, in many biological attachment systems…
