Some notes on Luan and Robbin's papers on contact and adhesion at atomic scale
As I promised, I start with some brief notes on themes loved by Ken Johnson to hopefully raise some interest for discussion on iMechanica. Regards, Mike

multiscale contact
Contact is a multiscale process. Macroscopic contacts involve geometrical shapes, such as sphere-plane Hertzian contact. Mesoscopic contacts involve the surface roughness and asperity contact. Atomic scale contacts involve the tractions and repulsions between atoms of two bodies. Has anybody established a theory that links the contact at different scales?
multiscale contact
yes, Henry, there is quite a lot of literature. You can see some of this cited in my attachment. Did you read it? Regards, Mike
a full multiscale asperity model with adhesion
Hello Mike,
Greetings !
I enjoyed your postings very much. Thanks!
You mentioned that "the Greenwood and Tripp equivalent or a full multiscale version of asperity model with adhesion, not limited to the JKR" is highly desirable. This remind me a model developed by Adams et al.
Adams et al 2003 ASME J. Tribol. 125 700–8
Adams et al 2005 J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 38 1402-1409
Don't you think these models are what your meant?
Has Adams done the Greenwood & Tripp with adhesion
No, I think those papers by Adams deal with the Greenwood & Williamson model, not the Greenwood & Tripp. In other words, there is no macroscopic (spherical)shape they consider. Thanks anyway. Mike
