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…
Interfacial separation between elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces: comparison of experiment with theory
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
We study the average separation between an elastic solid and a hard solid with a nominal flat but randomly rough surface, as a function of the squeezing pressure. We present experi…
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…
Van der Waals Frictional Drag induced by Liquid Flow in Low- Dimensional Systems
A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson
We study the van der Waals frictional drag force induced by liquid flow in low-dimensional systems (2D and 1D electron systems, and 2D and 1D channels with liquid). We find that fo…
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…
