Experimental and numerical study of the effect of surface patterning on the frictional properties of polymer surfaces
Simone Balestra, Gianluca Costagliola, Amedeo Pegoraro +6
We describe benchmark experiments to evaluate the frictional properties of laser patterned low-density polyethylene as a function of sliding velocity, normal force and humidity. Th…
Applications of Jarzynski's relation in lattice gauge theories
Alessandro Nada, Michele Caselle, Gianluca Costagliola +2
Jarzynski's equality is a well-known result in statistical mechanics, relating free-energy differences between equilibrium ensembles with fluctuations in the work performed during…
Static and dynamic friction of hierarchical surfaces
Gianluca Costagliola, Federico Bosia, Nicola M. Pugno
Hierarchical structures are very common in Nature, but only recently have they been systematically studied in materials physics, in order to understand the specific effects they ca…
