iMechanica - IS THERE NO PULL-OFF FOR ADHESIVE FRACTAL SURFACES? - Comments http://imechanica.org/node/823 Comments for "IS THERE NO PULL-OFF FOR ADHESIVE FRACTAL SURFACES?" en IS THERE NO PULL-OFF FOR ADHESIVE FRACTAL SURFACES? http://imechanica.org/node/823 <p>In this short note we remark that, at least for the theory of Fuller &amp; Tabor for the adhesive contact of rough random surfaces, fractal surfaces have a limiting zero pull-off force, for all fractal dimensions or amplitudes of roughness. This paradoxical result raises some questions. I ask the iMechanica community for opinions, comparisons of experiments, etc.</p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/823#comments Contact Mechanics Forum research adhesion fractal surfaces Fri, 09 Feb 2007 04:21:26 -0500 Mike Ciavarella 823 at http://imechanica.org
