An approximate JKR solution for a general contact, including rough contacts
M. Ciavarella
In the present note, we suggest a simple closed form approximate solution to the adhesive contact problem under the so-called JKR regime. The derivation is based on generalizing th…
A simplified version of Persson's multiscale theory for rubber friction due to viscoelastic losses
Michele Ciavarella
We show the full multiscale Persson's theory for rubber friction due to viscoelastic losses can be approximated extremely closely to simpler models, like that suggested by Persson…
On the use of DMT approximations in adhesive contacts, with remarks on random rough contacts
Michele Ciavarella
The contact between rough surfaces with adhesion is an extremely difficult problem, and the approximation of the DMT theory (to neglect deformations due to attractive forces), orig…
Adhesion of surfaces with wavy roughness and a shallow depression
Michele Ciavarella, Antonio Papangelo
Recently, a simple and elegant "dimple" model was introduced by McMeeking et al. (Adv Eng Mat 12(5), 389-397, 2010) to show a mechanism for a bistable adhesive system involving a s…
