Load-separation curves for the contact of self-affine rough surfaces

Submitted by Antonio Papangelo on

Load separation curves between self-affine rough surfaces have been studied by means of extensive numerical simulations. The results of the comparison with the two main contact mechanics theories have been reported. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-07234-4
