A scaling law for large-deformation contact in soft materials
Tong Mu, Shizhuo Weng, Changhong Linghu +10
Compression of soft bodies is central to biology, materials science, and robotics, yet existing contact theories break down at large deformations. Here, we develop a general framew…

Rubber-to-glass adhesion between a rigid sphere and a shape memory polymer substrate of finite thickness
Changhong Linghu, Wentao Mao, Haoyu Jiang +2
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are emerging as innovative smart adhesive materials with broad application potential. Compared to conventional elastomeric adhesives, SMP adhesives are…
