On stickiness criteria for multiscale random rough contacts

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

We have just submitted a paper which solves a problem that I have been struggling to solve for many years.

Any comments are welcome to improve, while the paper goes the standard review process in the journal we submitted it.

 

On stickiness of multiscale randomly rough surfaces

A very simple estimate of adhesion of hard solids with rough surfaces based on a bearing area model

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

"A very simple estimate of adhesion of hard solids with rough surfaces based on a bearing area model" is in press in Meccanica, can be viewed at http://rdcu.be/s0lV Abstract In the present note, we suggest a single-line equation estimate for adhesion between elastic(hard) rough solids with Gaussian multiple scales of roughness.
