A simplified theory of "stickiness" due to electroadhesion between rough surfaces
M. Ciavarella
Building on theories of Persson, we derive a simpler theory for electroadhesion between rough surfaces using BAM (Bearing Area Model) of Ciavarella, or previous ideas by Persson an…
The false myth of the rise in self-citations, and the impressively positive effect of bibliometric evaluations on the increase of the impact of Italian research
Pietro D'Antuono, Michele Ciavarella
It has recently been claimed by Baccini and coauthors that due to ANVUR's bibliometric evaluations of individuals, departments, and universities, in Italy there has been a surge in…
Mean stress effect on Gaßner curves interpreted as shifted Wöhler curves
Pietro D'Antuono, Michele Ciavarella
A criterion for the mean stress effect correction in the shift factor approach for variable amplitude life prediction is presented for both smooth and notched specimens. The criter…
Universal features in "stickiness" criteria for soft adhesion with rough surfaces
Michele Ciavarella
A very interesting recent paper by Dalvi et al. has demonstrated convincingly with adhesion experiments of a soft material with a hard rough material that the simple energy idea of…
On the application of fracture mechanics mixed-mode models of sliding with friction and adhesion
M. Ciavarella
As recently suggested in an interestring and stimulating paper by Menga, Carbone & Dini (MCD), applying fracture mechanics energy concepts for the case of a sliding adhesive contac…
A comment on "A dimensionless measure for adhesion and effects of the range of adhesion in contacts of nominally flat surfaces" by M. H. Muser

Shear-induced contact area anisotropy explained by a fracture mechanics model
A. Papangelo, J. Scheibert, R. Sahli +2
This paper gives a theoretical analysis for the fundamental problem of anisotropy induced by shear forces onan adhesive contact, discussing the experimental data of the companion L…
Adhesive contact of model randomly rough rubber surfaces
Vito Acito, Michele Ciavarella, Alexis M Prevost +1
We study experimentally and theoretically the equilibrium adhesive contact between a smooth glass lens and a rough rubber surface textured with spherical microasperities with contr…
