The static shape of droplets under electrowetting actuation is well understood. The steady-state shape of the droplet is obtained on the basis of the balance of surface tension and electrowetting forces, and the change in the apparent contact angle is well characterized by the Young-Lippmann equation. However, the transient droplet shape behavior when a voltage is suddenly applied across a drop...

A system of a first order history-dependent evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequality with unilateral constraints coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equation in Banach space is studied. Based on fixed point theorem for history dependent operators, results the well-posedness are proved. Existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence solution data, and regularity established. Two app...

In this note, we determine the stability boundary for the thermoelastic contact of a rectangular elastic block sliding against a rigid wall in the presence of a pressure-dependent thermal contact resistance. This geometry can be seen as intermediate between the idealized ‘Aldo’ rod model and continuum solutions for the elastic half-plane. The solution is obtained by comparing the expression for...

This study is motivated by the need to understand the elastodynamic response of belts in frictional contact with pulleys. To this end, a simplified model for belt~pulley contact is used to investigate the dynamic response of a belt subject to a train of harmonic tension waves. Through a nondimensionalization, a single dimensionless parameter f~ is identified which governs the dynamic response. ...

We consider a new class of inclusions in Hilbert spaces for which we provide an existence and uniqueness result. The proof is based on arguments monotonicity, convexity fixed point. use this result to establish the unique solvability associated Moreau’s sweeping processes. Next, give two applications Solid Mechanics. first one concerns study time-dependent constitutive law with unilateral const...

This paper is devoted the study of a generalized hybrid dynamical system, which consists history-dependent hemivariational inequality parabolic type and nonlinear evolution equation. The unique solvability for system established via applying surjectivity multivalued pseudomonotone operators, fixed point theorem, properties Clarke gradient. As an illustrative application, dynamic frictional cont...

the forging model for cold rolling is one of rolling models that is used in rolling calculations. in this model,the final rolling pressure is an average value and it is not an accurate model.also by using this model,the firction hill curves are plotted due to the central point of the rolling bite length while frictional stresses intersect at the neutral point.in this study, a new model based on...

Dynamic attachment is the key to move on steep surfaces, with mechanisms being still not well understood. The hunting spider Cupiennius salei (Arachnida, Ctenidae) possesses hairy attachment pads (claw tufts) at its distal legs, consisting of directional branched setae. The morphological investigation revealed that adhesive setae are arranged in a radial manner within the distal tarsus. Frictio...
