On Shui,..., & Xi Chen (Nat.Comm.(2020), 11(1), 1583) experiments showing increased adhesion when applying high-frequency vibrations

dear Friends

 Langquan Shui, Laibing Jia, Hangbo Li, Jiaojiao Guo, Ziyu Guo, Yilun Liu, Ze Liu & Xi Chen (Nat.Comm.(2020), 11(1), 1583) have made interesting experiments showing increased adhesion when applying high-frequency vibrations. The effect was explained by a non-symmetrical effect in the contact area oscillation ruled by the well known empirical Gent and Schultz law (GS). However, Shui et al solution (Eq.3) appears not to depend on GS constants, which appears incorrect, and makes the model not valid in the paper.    So I wrote a comment to Nat Comm to stimulate a discussion:

Dear Michael:

Thank you for your interest in our work. Perhaps we didn't specify the parameter space explicitly in our work. The model is intended to explain parallel experiment in a simple way, and thus necessary simplification and assumption are needed. Here is our reply: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386115815_Reply_A_comment_on_vi...

Best regards.
