On mixed-mode fracture mechanics models for contact area reduction under shear load in soft materials
A Papangelo, M Ciavarella - arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.10676, 2018
The fundamental problem of friction in the presence of macroscopic adhesion, as in
soft bodies, is receiving interest from many experimentalists. Since the first fracture
mechanicspurely brittle'model of Savkoor and Briggs, models have been proposed .......
