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…
Adhesive contact between a rigid body of arbitrary shape and a thin elastic coating
Valentin L. Popov
Application of the principle of energy balance to a rigid indenter in contact with elastic layer on a flat rigid substrate provides a very simple derivation of the detachment crite…
Detachment of adhesive normal contact between a rigid circular flat punch and a viscoelastic half-space
Emanuel Willert, Valentin L. Popov
We propose an approach to describe the propagation of a crack (or boundary of an adhesive contact) in a viscoelastic material which is only based on the consideration of the rheolo…
