Abstract: Investigating the contact of rough spheres is constructive to wide engineering applications and scientific research. However, the coexistence of global curvature and surface roughness brings difficulty in the analysis of ...

Abstract: The oscillatory indentation has become an attractive approach to characterizing the viscoelastic properties of soft biological solids. However, the influences of surface tension on oscillatory responses are ignored, which ...

Abstract: The measurement of the real contact area between rough surfaces is one of the most challenging problems in contact mechanics and is of importance to understand some physical mechanisms in tribology. Based on the frustrated ...
