ISBN: 3540661131 ISBN-13: 9783540661139 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $208.99 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 1999 Annotation: This book is based on the analogy between contact mechanics and fracture mechanics as proposed by the author about twenty years ago. It starts with a chapter devoted to the surface energy and tension of solids and surface thermodynamics, which is followed by a chapter on elastic recall. The methods of Muskhelichvili and Hankel transforms for the resolution of plane and axisymmetric problems are studied. Then the essential conepts of fracture mechanics are presented with emphasis on the thermodynamic aspect of the problem. The reader will find complete analytical results and detailed calculations for cracks submitted to pressure distributions and the Dugdale model, as well as a chapter on contact mechanics. The contact and adherence of rough solids is also studied. This book is intended for advanced students and researchers working in the fields of fracture mechanics or adhesion. |

| Publisher Description: In 1970 an investigation into rubber friction, sponsored by a manufacturer of automobile windscreen wipers, was being carried out at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. When a smooth spherical slider of soft rubber was placed in contact with flat glass or perspex, the compliance of the rubber enabled it to conform to any slight roughness of the two surfaces such that perfect contact was obtained. In these circumstances the surfaces were found to adhere: under load the contact area exceeded that predicted by the Hertz theory of elastic contact, a contact area of finite size was seen at zero load and a tensile force was required to pull the surfaces apart. In an attempt to model these observations the JKR theory (Johnson, Kendall and Roberts, 1971) was born. At the same time, working in Moscow on adhesion of particles in colloidal suspension, Derjaguin, Muller and Toporov had developed a different ("DMT") theory of the adhesion of elastic spheres (DMT, 1975). At first it was thought that these theories were incompatible, until Tabor suggested that each applied to opposite ends of the spectrum of a non-dimensional parameter which expressed the ratio of the magnitude of the elastic deformation to the range of surface forces. This work was followed by Maugis and Barquins in the CNRS Laboratory at Belle Vue, who recognised the analogy between adhesion and fracture. |
