Modeling the surface topography dependence of friction, adhesion, and contact compliance

MH Müser, L Nicola - Mrs Bulletin, 2022 - Springer
The small-scale topography of surfaces critically affects the contact area of solids and thus
the forces acting between them. Although this has long been known, only recent advances …
