On the effect of wear on asperity heigth distributions, and the corresponding effect in the mechanical response
M. Ciavarella
Since the time of the original Greenwood & Williamson paper, it was noticed that abrasion and wear lead to possibly bimodal distribution of asperity height distribution, with the u…
On the significance of asperity models predictions of rough contact with respect to recent alternative theories
M. Ciavarella
Recently, it has been shown that while asperity models show correctly qualitative features of rough contact problems (linearity in area-load, negative exponential dependence of loa…
A note on the possibility of roughness enhancement of adhesion in Persson's theory
M. Ciavarella
In an attempt to model the observed enhancement of adhesion in some classical experiments in the 1970-1980's, Persson introduced in his theory of adhesion between rough solids a te…
On Pastewka & Robbins' criterion for macroscopic adhesion of rough surfaces
M. Ciavarella
Pastewka & Robbins (PNAS, 111(9), 3298-3303, 2014) recently have proposed a criterion to distinguish when two surfaces will stick together or not, and suggested it shows a large co…
A random process asperity model for adhesion
M. Ciavarella
A simple asperity model using random process theory is developed in the presence of adhesion. Using the DMT model for each individual asperity, and asymptotic results at large sepa…
