Frictional Contact of Soft Polymeric Shells

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters
The classical Hertzian contact model establishes a monotonic correlation between contact force and area. Here, we showed that the interplay between local friction and structural instability can deliberately lead to unconventional contact behavior when a soft elastic shell comes into contact with a flat surface. The deviation from Hertzian contact first

Rheological Chaos of Frictional Grains

open access: yes, 2016
A two-dimensional dense fluid of frictional grains is shown to exhibit time-chaotic, spatially heterogeneous flow in a range of stress values, $\sigma$, chosen in the unstable region of s-shaped flow curves.

Influence of Nanoparticles in Lubricant on Sliding Contact of Atomic Rough Surfaces—A Molecular Dynamics Study

open access: yesLubricants
In this work, large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) computational simulations were performed in order to explore the sliding contact responses of rough surfaces with hexadecane lubricant and added nanoparticles.

On the Importance of Displacement History in Soft-Body Contact Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Two approaches are commonly used for handling frictional contact within the framework of the discrete element method (DEM). One relies on the complementarity method (CM) to enforce a nonpenetration condition and the Coulomb dry-friction model at the ...

Influence of frozen capillary waves on contact mechanics

open access: yes, 2005
Free surfaces of liquids exhibit thermally excited (capillary) surface waves. We show that the surface roughness which results from capillary waves when a glassy material is cooled below the glass transition temperature can have a large influence on the ...

Analysis of a Dynamic Viscoelastic Contact Problem with Normal Compliance, Normal Damped Response, and Nonmonotone Slip Rate Dependent Friction

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematical Physics, 2016
We consider a mathematical model which describes the dynamic evolution of a viscoelastic body in frictional contact with an obstacle. The contact is modelled with a combination of a normal compliance and a normal damped response law associated with a ...

Local contact numbers in two dimensional packings of frictional disks

open access: yes, 2009
We analyze the local structure of two dimensional packings of frictional disks numerically. We focus on the fractions x_i of particles that are in contact with i neighbors, and systematically vary the confining pressure p and friction coefficient \mu. We

A general model for frictional contacts in colloidal systems

open access: yesCommunications Physics
In simulations of colloidal matter, frictional contacts between particles are often neglected. For spherical colloids, such an approximation can be problematic, since frictional contacts couple translational and rotational degrees of freedom, which may ...
