Contact mechanics, spanning nanometer to tectonic scales, faces long-standing challenges
arising from multiscale random roughness, which hinders experimental validation of …

The design of an electrical contact is crucial to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and
efficiency of connectors. One key aspect is the surface quality of the contacting bodies …

In this work, the basic relationships of the local gradient approach in thermomechanics are
used to build a model that accounts for the roughness of an actual body surface. This is …

There are numerous stochastic approaches to indirectly couple solid asperity contact with
the fluid hydrodynamics in the region of boundary or mixed lubrication. In contrast …

We propose a new variational formulation to model and predict friction-induced vibrations.
The multi-scale computational framework exploits the results of (i) the roughness …

Este trabalho investigou a mecânica do contato rugoso direcionado para simulações
determinísticas baseadas em asperezas. Sua ênfase particular consiste na identificação e …
