Adhesion-controlled sliding and the Stribeck curve in hydrophobic soft contacts
Ruibin Xu, Charlotte Spies, Michele Scaraggi +1
We present an experimental and theoretical study of dry and glycerol-lubricated sliding for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cylinders with different surface roughness sliding on pol…
Dynamics of space debris removal: A review
Mohammad Bigdeli, Rajat Srivastava, Michele Scaraggi
Space debris, also known as "space junk," presents a significant challenge for all space exploration activities, including those involving human-onboard spacecraft such as SpaceX's…
Quantifying Wetting Dynamics with Triboelectrification
Xiaolong Zhang, Michele Scaraggi, Youbin Zheng +5
Wetting is often perceived as an intrinsic surface property of materials, but determining its evolution is complicated by its complex dependence on roughness across the scales. The…
Elastohydrodynamics for soft solids with surface roughness: transient effects
M. Scaraggi, L. Dorogin, J. Angerhausen +2
A huge number of technological and biological systems involves the lubricated contact between rough surfaces of soft solids in relative accelerated motion. Examples include dynamic…
Rough contact mechanics for graded bulk rheology: The role of small-scale wavelengths on rubber friction
Michele Scaraggi, Davide Comingio
We present a numerical model for the prediction of the rough contact mechanics of a viscoelastic block, with graded rheology, in steady sliding contact with a randomly rough rigid…
General contact mechanics theory for randomly rough surfaces with application to rubber friction
Michele Scaraggi, Bo N. J. Persson
We generalize the Persson contact mechanics and rubber friction theory to the case where both surfaces have surface roughness. The solids can be rigid, elastic or viscoelastic, and…
Viscoelastic contact mechanics between randomly rough surfaces
Michele Scaraggi, Bo N. J. Persson
We present exact numerical results for the friction force and the contact area for a viscoelastic solid (rubber) in sliding contact with hard, randomly rough substrates. The rough…
Theory of adhesion: role of surface roughness
Bo N. J. Persson, Michele Scaraggi
We discuss how surface roughness influence the adhesion between elastic solids. We introduce a Tabor number which depends on the length scale or magnification, and which gives info…
Contact electrification and the work of adhesion
B. N. J. Persson, M. Scaraggi, A. I. Volokitin
We present a general theory for the contribution from contact electrification to the work necessary to separate two solid bodies. The theory depends on the surface charge density c…
Adhesive contact of rough surfaces: comparison between numerical calculations and analytical theories
Giuseppe Carbone, Michele Scaraggi, Ugo Tartaglino
We have employed a numerical procedure to analyze the adhesive contact between a soft elastic layer and a rough rigid substrate. The solution of the problem is obtained by calculat…
