Sharp-interface limits of Cahn-Hilliard models and mechanics with moving contact lines [PDF]
, 2023 We construct gradient structures for free boundary problems with nonlinear elasticity and study the impact of moving contact lines. In this context, we numerically analyze how phase-field models converge to certain sharp-interface limits when the ...

An investigation into the aerodynamic characteristics of catenary contact wires in a cross-wind [PDF]
, 2001 An experimental analysis of the aerodynamic characteristics of catenary contact wires is presented. The aerodynamic data obtained were used to calculate the Glauert-Den Harthog criterion for one-dimensional galloping.

An investigation into the mechanical damping characteristics of catenary contact wires and their effect on aerodynamic galloping instability [PDF]
, 2003 Measurement of the damped oscillation of a section of the UK East Coast Main Line (ECML) catenary/contact wire system was undertaken, and the natural frequency and mechanical damping were found to be 1.4Hz and 0.05 respectively. This information was used

Special lines on contact manifolds [PDF]
, 2022 In a series of two articles Kebekus studied deformation theory of minimal rational curves on contact Fano manifolds. Such curves are called contact lines. Kebekus proved that a contact line through a general point is necessarily smooth and has a fixed

Pinning, de-pinning and re-pinning of a slowly varying rivulet [PDF]
, 2013 The solutions for the unidirectional flow of a thin rivulet with prescribed volume flux down an inclined planar substrate are used to describe the locally unidirectional flow of a rivulet with constant width (i.e. pinned contact lines) but slowly varying

The numerical simulation of thin film flow over heterogeneous substrates [PDF]
, 2003 Considerable progress in the understanding of thin film flow over surfaces has been achieved thanks to lubrication theory which enables the governing Navier-Stokes equations to be reduced to a more tractable form, namely a coupled set of partial ...

Defining True Tribological Contact Through Application of the Morphological Method to Surface Topography [PDF]
, 2013 In tribological functions high peaks (summits) in the surface topography play a dominant role in that they determine the position of first contact and how the contact will occur.
