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…

Weak non-linearities of amorphous polymer under creep in the vicinity of the glass transition
Martin Roman-Faure, Hélène Montes, François Lequeux +1
The creep behavior of an amorphous poly(etherimide) (PEI) polymer is investigated in the vicinity of its glass transition in a weakly non linear regime where the acceleration of th…

Molecular adsorption induces normal stresses at frictional interfaces of hydrogels
Lola Ciapa, Yvette Tran, Christian Frétigny +2
Friction experiments were conducted on hydrogel thin films sliding against a rigid sphere in a low velocity regime where molecular adsorption at the sliding interface sets the fric…
