Description for Contact, Adhesion and Rupture of Elastic Solids
Hardback. Based on the analogy between contact mechanics and fracture mechanics, this text discusses the surface energy and tension of solids and surface thermodynamics, and goes on to cover elastic recall, the essential concepts of fracture mechanics and contact mechanics, offering analytical results. Series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences. Num Pages: 414 pages, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHH; TGMD5. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 23. Weight in Grams: 787.
In 1970 an investigation into rubber friction, sponsored by a manufacturer of automobile windscreen wipers, was being carried out at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. When a smooth spherical slider of soft rubber was placed in contact with flat glass or perspex, the compliance of the rubber enabled it to conform to any slight roughness of the two surfaces such that perfect contact was obtained. In these circumstances the surfaces were found to adhere: under load the contact area exceeded that predicted by the Hertz theory of elastic contact, a contact area of finite size was seen at zero ...
