An Archard-type multiscale theory of hysteretic friction on viscoelastic half-planes, built on exact per-scale viscoelastic contact solutions

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

I submitted the manuscript "An Archard-type multiscale theory of hysteretic friction on viscoelastic half-planes, built on exact per-scale viscoelastic contact solutions" for consideration as a Regular Article.

a possible seminar on friction as fracture

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on
Dear colleague,
 
I am preparing a seminar that I will give at several universities, and I would be glad to offer it to your group as well, either online or, if you are able to invite me, in person.
 
The seminar is about recent theories of friction and frictional contact, viewed as a fracture problem. In the "Griffith friction" picture the edge of the stick zone is treated as a shear crack, and this explains why static friction depends on load, size and roughness. It covers:
 

Ph.D. and Postdoctoral Opportunities in Geomechanics - McGill University - Fall 2027
