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…
