Anisotropic shrinkage and finite strains in confined frictional contacts
Marco Ceglie, Cosimo Mandriota, Giuseppe Carbone +2
We report on an experimental investigation of the interplay between friction, contact geometry and finite strains for smooth frictional contacts between rigid spherical glass probe…

Modelling viscoelastic adhesion and friction in sliding contact mechanics
Cosimo Mandriota, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
We present our recent study on rough adhesive contacts of viscoelastic materials in steady-state sliding, focusing on the interplay between adhesion and viscoelasticity by means of…

Enhancement of adhesion strength in viscoelastic unsteady contacts
Cosimo Mandriota, Nicola Menga, Giuseppe Carbone
We present a general energy approach to study the unsteady adhesive contact of viscoelastic materials. Under the assumption of infinitely short-range adhesive interactions, we expl…
