Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of rubber friction and contact mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case when the substrate surface has a self affine fractal structure and present a theory for the area of real contact, both for stationary and sliding bodies, with elastic or elastoplastic properties.
Book
Sliding Friction: Physical Principles and Applications
TL;DR: In this article, a sliding system on clean (Dry) and lubed surfaces is presented. But it does not consider the effect of surface topography and surface contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the nature of surface roughness with application to contact mechanics, sealing, rubber friction and adhesion.
Bo N. J. Persson,O. Albohr,U. Tartaglino,U. Tartaglino,A. I. Volokitin,Erio Tosatti,Erio Tosatti,Erio Tosatti +7 more
TL;DR: This work presents surface roughness power spectra of many surfaces of practical importance, obtained from the surface height profile measured using optical methods and the atomic force microscope, and shows how the power spectrum determines the contact area between two solids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contact mechanics for randomly rough surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider contact problems for very smooth polymer (PMMA) and Pyrex glass surfaces prepared by cooling liquids of glassy materials from above the glass transition temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-field radiative heat transfer and noncontact friction
A. I. Volokitin,Bo N. J. Persson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general formalism for the calculation of the power spectral density for the fluctuating electromagnetic field is presented and applied to the radiative heat transfer and the van der Waals friction using both the semiclassical theory of the fluctuated electromagnetic field and quantum field theory.
