I study the influence of temperature and the crack-tip velocity of bond breaking at the crack
tip in rubber-like materials. Bond breaking is considered as a stress-aided thermally …

Dynamic adhesion characteristics of synthetic adhesives have attracted massive attention
recently. Specific to the mushroom-shaped adhesive structures with outperformed adhesion …

Modeling the adhesion of viscoelastic rough surfaces is a recent challenge in contact
mechanics. Existing models have primarily focused on simple systems with smooth …

__________________________________… Abstract: This paper presents an overview of
the role of adhesion in various tribological phenomena. We discuss (1) adhesion and …

While viscoelastic, adhesive contact rupture of simple indenters is well studied, contact
formation has received much less attention. Here, we present simulations of the formation of …

The problem of the detachment of a flat indenter from a plane adhesive viscoelastic strip of
thickness “b” is studied. For any given retraction speed, three different detachment regimes …

Contact mechanics theories are commonly developed using the half-space approximation,
which may raise concerns when dealing with contact region sizes comparable to or even …

The contact behaviour of mushroom-shaped pillars has been extensively studied for their
superior adhesive properties, often inspired by natural attachment systems observed in …

Influence of tangential force on the adhesive contact, in particular on the adhesive strength
and the contact area have been a subject of investigation and discussions for many years …

The problem of the detachment of a sufficiently large flat indenter from a plane adhesive
viscoelastic strip of thickness" b" is studied. For any given retraction speed, three different …
