Deep learning-based prediction of time-resolved adhesive forces in viscoelastic Hertzian contacts
Ali Maghami, Merten Stender, Michele Ciavarella +1
Fast prediction of the response of adhesive soft viscoelastic contacts represents a current challenge in soft robotics and for gripping and manipulation tasks. Determining the comp…

Bulk and fracture process zone contribution to the rate-dependent adhesion amplification in viscoelastic broad-band materials
Ali Maghami, Qingao Wang, Michele Tricarico +3
The contact between a rigid Hertzian indenter and an adhesive broad-band viscoelastic substrate is considered. The material behaviour is described by a modified power law model, wh…
