Abstract: A numerical simulation is performed to investigate the development of forces between a rigid sphere and an elastic half-space during normal, dynamic contact in the absence of friction. Of ...

Abstract: The interaction between two elastic spheres with an intervening liquid film of given volume is studied theoretically. Using an energy minimization approach, equilibrium contact configurations are ...

Abstract: One of the key obstacles precluding the maturation and commercialization of planar solid oxide fuel cells has been the absence of a robust sealant. A computational model has been developed in ...
