Heat transfer in granular media with weakly interacting particles
B. N. J. Persson, J. Biele
We study the heat transfer in weakly interacting particle systems in vacuum. The particles have surface roughness with self-affine fractal properties, as expected for mineral parti…
On the stability of spinning asteroids
B. N. J. Persson, J. Biele
Most asteroids with a diameter larger than are rubble piles i.e. consisting of more than one solid object. All asteroids are rotating but almost all asteroids…
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…
Air leakage in seals with application to syringes
N. Rodriguez, A. Tiwari, B. N. J. Persson
We study the leakage of air in syringes with Teflon coated rubber stopper and glass barrel. The leakrate depends on the interfacial surface roughness, the viscoelastic properties o…
On opening crack propagation in viscoelastic solids
B. N. J. Persson
We show that the Persson-Brener theory of crack propagation in viscoelastic solids gives a viscoelastic fracture energy factor which is nearly the same as the viscoel…
Side-leakage of facemask
B. N. J. Persson
Face masks are used to trap particles (or fluid drops) in a porous material (filter) in order to avoid or reduce the transfer of particles between the human lungs (or mouth and nos…
