IS THERE NO PULL-OFF FOR ADHESIVE FRACTAL SURFACES?
Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on Fri, 2007-02-09 09:21.
In this short note we remark that, at least for the theory of Fuller & 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.
