Shape of a sliding capillary contact
Valentin L. Popov
We consider a classical problem of a capillary neck between a parabolic body and a plane with a small amount of liquid in between. In the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, the co…
Dynamic Stiction Mode by Friction Vector Rotation
Ken Nakano, Valentin L. Popov
We numerically study a simple sliding system: a rigid mass pulled by a spring with a strong in-plane stiffness anisotropy and a small misalignment angle. Simulations show that the…
Adhesive and non-adhesive contact of a rigid indenter and a thin elastic layer with surface tension
Valentin L. Popov
We consider an adhesive contact between a thin soft layer on a rigid substrate and a rigid cylindrical indenter ("line contact") with account of the surface tension of the layer. F…
Boundary Element Method for non-adhesive and adhesive contacts of a coated elastic half-space
Qiang Li, Roman Pohrt, Iakov A. Lyashenko +1
We present a new formulation of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for simulating the non-adhesive and adhesive contact between an indenter of arbitrary shape and an elastic half-sp…
Indentation of concave power law profiles with arbitrary exponents
Valentin L. Popov, Markus Heß, Emanuel Willert +1
We study analytically and numerically the process of indentation of cylindrical rigid indenter with concave face in form of a power-law function. In the well-known case of a parabo…
Voltage induced friction in a contact of a finger and a touchscreen with a thin dielectric coating
Valentin L. Popov, Markus Hess
We show that application of voltage between two electrically conducting bodies separated by a thin dielectric layer is equivalent to an adhesive contact with an effective separatio…
