Abstract
The entry and propagation of pores inside an adhesive interface between an elastomer and a rigid sphere were studied experimentally and simulated numerically. It was shown that mutually interacting events involving attachment–detachment of different segments of the elastomer to the indenter resulted in non-trivial patterns of spatially distributed contacts between them, which were additionally influenced by air penetration of the pores.
1 Introduction
One of the actively developing areas in contact mechanics is associated with the study of adhesive contacts (Brörmann et al., 2013; Sahli et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2024; Siniscalco et al., 2024). There is increasing interest regarding the study of adhesion because adhesion phenomena are easily observable in daily life. However, complex processes occur within adhesive contacts related to restructuring of the contact boundaries when the contacting surfaces shift mutually. These could be a combination of propagation of elastic waves in the contact zone, hysteresis phenomena, etc. Adhesion also has high significance in various applications, including robotics (Weston-Dawkes et al., 2021; Singh and Gupta, 2022), medicine (Ge and Chen, 2020; Zemljič-Jokhadar et al., 2021), biology (Gorb et al., 2019; van den Boogaart et al., 2022; Phiri et al., 2023), and other areas (Chernov et al., 2014; da Silva et al., 2018; Lyashenko and Liashenko, 2020).
This work is devoted to the experimental study of an intriguing phenomenon like the propagation of elastic waves that are generated in the adhesive contact zone when a solid indenter slides along the surface of a soft elastomer. Analogous waves were first observed in a classical work (Schallamach, 1971) and were therefore named as Schallamach waves. It has been shown that adhesion leads to complex processes caused by restructuring of the contact during tangential movements (Schallamach, 1971; Brörmann et al., 2013). The specificity of the present work is the consideration of quasistatic contacts since the indenter moves along the surface of the elastomer at a very low speed. Despite this, the passage of elastic waves is observed within the contact. The present work also proposes a dynamic model that allows description of the occurrences of the observed waves and their propagation using relatively simple and clearly observed dynamics with two-dimensional representations. Our experiment reveals a highly interesting feature: changes in the friction mode and characteristics of elastic wave propagation resulting from contamination of the friction surfaces and decrease in adhesion. Since the contact characteristics rely heavily on adhesive strength that varies over time, building a general theory or model of tangential adhesive contact presents a fundamentally difficult challenge. This implies that a different theory should be developed or adapted for each experimental system.
2 Experimental results
Using the experimental setup detailed in Lyashenko et al. (2024), we conducted an experiment in which a steel sphere of radius was pressed into a TANAC CRG N3005 elastomer sheet of thickness to a depth . After reaching , the indenter was moved in the tangential direction by a distance . Further, the indenter was pulled out in the vertical direction while the contact disappeared. The speed of the indenter was , which allows the contact to be considered as quasistatic (Lyashenko and Popov, 2021).
An important feature of this experiment is the possibility of direct observation of the contact area as an optically transparent elastomer is used. This enables real-time observation of the dynamic processes inside the continuously restructuring contact zone. Figure 1 shows the experimental time dependences of the normal and tangential forces, contact area , and average tangential stress
FIGURE 1
The value in Eq. (1) increases slightly with increase in the external load (Lyashenko et al., 2024). However, the maximum tangential stress at which sliding begins is a material parameter. To determine , the two-term friction law (Berardo et al., 2019) can be used in the following form:where μ is the friction coefficient. However, our experiments demonstrated that the adhesive properties decrease during sliding, consequently decreasing as well. Thus, we do not utilize Eq. (2) but rely on the friction force , which is derived from Eq. (1). The dependences in Figure 1 demonstrate 12 characteristic points, whose contact configurations are as shown. Note that the two-term friction law of Eq. (2) is often used in tribology. As additional examples, the classical Derjaguin’s law (Derjaguin, 1934) and friction law for the boundary regime (Lyashenko et al., 2011) can be cited.
The point 1 in Figure 1 corresponds to the final moment of normal indentation. Up to this point, the contact area can be approximated as (Hertz, 1881), where is the indentation depth and is the contact radius. Thus, the contact area at the indentation increases linearly, and the tangential force and stresses are equal to zero. As seen from the photographs on the right side in Figure 1, during tangential movement, folds are formed initially on the surface of the elastomer owing to deformation at the leading edge of the contact; in our experimental pictures, these folds are seen as bright white stripes. Similar behaviors were observed in a recent experimental work (Yan et al., 2023), where it was shown via vertical cross sections that folds are realized. The number of folds increases with time, following which their partial sliding along the surface of the elastomer is realized. The process of fold sliding shows various dynamic phenomena: collapse of the folds into several folds or their unification and recombination.
The frictional force in the contact is , where the contact area at a fixed indentation depth changes slightly. On the one hand, the frictional force increases with increases in the tangential stresses in the areas where the indenter has not yet reached the slip zone. These areas are instantly closer to the trailing edge of contact. On the other hand, decreases due to elastomer slipping at the leading edge of the contact. Owing to the actions of these two competing factors, the frictional force reaches a maximum at point 8, although the first instance of complete sliding over the entire surface of the indenter occurs later in the vicinity of point 9. This moment is marked in all the dependences by vertical arrows. We note that the contact may become non-simply connected during the friction process (photo 10 in Figure 1). Owing to air entrapment at the leading front, pores are formed in the contact zone (photos 10 and 11 in Figure 1), which then propagate along with the elastic deformation waves. Straightening and disappearance of the deformation folds are also often observed, because of which air pores may be formed in particular places. All mentioned processes are clearly visible in Supplementary Video S1. There are many studies that demonstrate the propagation of elastic waves in various adhesive systems (Brörmann et al., 2013; Viswanathan et al., 2015; Zhibo et al., 2021). However, in our work, we illustrate transitions between different adhesive regimes within a single experiment. Additionally, in the supplementary video, we present the evolution of the contact area alongside normal and tangential contact forces, contact areas, and shear stresses. These provide a better understanding of the processes occurring during wave propagation.
The observed folds propagation represents Schallamach waves (Schallamach, 1971; Viswanathan and Chandrasekar, 2022) in adhesive contacts. An interesting feature of the case considered here is that over time, the propagation of folds in the contact stops completely (photo 12 in Figure 1). Surprisingly, this occurs in the same experimental run and indicates a transition to a different friction regime.
It is noted that before the experiment, the indenter surface was briefly treated with a FeCl3 solution, which greatly increased the adhesive strength of the contact against pull-off, meaning that the contact also becomes stronger to shearing. The properties of the indenter surface prepared in this manner degrade quickly upon contact with the elastomer and especially upon sliding. During sliding, the average stress (Figure 1D) decreases. And after some time, the shear stress is not sufficient to deform the elastomer enough for fold formation.
Another important feature is the specific character of elastic wave propagation. In our case, these waves are visualized as the propagation of folds from the leading to trailing edges of the contact. However, the waves propagate intermittently. After the next slip of the fold, further propagation stops since it is fixed in another place of the indenter where the position is stable. This is because the stresses must reach a maximum value for a local slip to occur (Carpick and Salmeron, 1997; Degrandi-Contraires et al., 2012; Yashima et al., 2015; Sahli et al., 2018; Mergel et al., 2021), but the stresses decrease quickly and become less than τ0 during a slip, which is necessary for continued slip. For further propagation of the fold, it is necessary that the stresses again reach τ0, for which the indenter must again move to a critical value that requires time.
This is clearly visible in Supplementary Video S1, even though the video speed is 24 times faster than that of the original experiment. Note that even if the indenter moves with an extremely low speed, local slips occur with speeds that are many times higher. Therefore, to numerically simulate the process of fold propagation, it is necessary to construct a dynamic model with viscoelasticity and elastomer relaxation (Carbone et al., 2022; Papangelo and Ciavarella, 2023; Khudoynazarov, 2024). The processes under consideration are quite complex, so we limited our initial efforts to a simplified 1 + 1-dimensional model that allows us to trace the main features of fold propagation in the presence or absence of air in the folds.
3 Numerical model
The model essentially exploits the same numerical technique as in Lyashenko et al. (2023), where the elastic foundation was constructed from a set of interacting movable automata powered by a combination of short-range repulsion and long-range attraction. This allows the automata to naturally form a medium that maintains an elastically fixed distance between the neighbors. In the present work, we considered the contact between a rigid sphere and a planar elastic substrate. This is a standard tribological configuration characterized by adhesion, pressure, tangential shift, and other standard parameters (Stojanovic and Ivanović, 2014).
Formally one can treat the array of movable automata as a system of interacting “particles,” each of which is characterized by the vector radius , momentum , and interaction potential corresponding to the Hamiltonian (Landau and Lifshitz, 1976):
In the majority of practically interesting cases, it is convenient to represent the interaction by a pair of potentials:where and define the magnitude, while and are the radii of attraction and repulsion, respectively. The natural equilibrium condition normally demands that and . One of the surfaces in the experiment moves along the horizontal direction . Here, the “upper” surface is a rigid movable sphere of radius . Along the vertical axis, the system is limited by a substrate plate at , which supports the system against normal load via the reflecting boundary .
To simulate the elastic system, we define the initial positions of the automata on an ordered grid, where node of the grid is connected to its neighbors by an elastic force, tending to conserve the initial distances between the nodes in the original structure. This interaction is caused by the potentialwhich leads to linear elastic forces at small deviations and automatically ensures that the nodes are connected to each other at the equilibrium distance . Here, is the characteristic distance; at , there are effective longitudinal and lateral stiffnesses of the material that return it to the original form when the external force is removed. As in our previous work (Lyashenko et al., 2023), we added an interaction between the sphere and segments of the elastic substrate. It is convenient to simulate these using sufficiently sharp but continuous potentials. For definiteness, we used strong exponential repulsion and short-range attraction in a narrow spherical belt around the surface. Here, and , while both characteristic distances are much smaller than the radius of the sphere: , .
The equations of motion can be written in standard form (Landau and Lifshitz, 1976) as , where is the velocity of the ith particle. The interacting automata exchange momentum , owing to which a dissipation channel should exist to equilibrate the relative velocities of the particles. This interaction works at the relatively short mutual distance close to the equilibrium distance and needs to be introduced. Accordingly, we add an additive dissipation force acting on each particle from the surroundings, with a corresponding dissipation constant . The equations of motion formally assume the following form:
An analogous numerical approach and similar equations were recently used in Filippov et al. (2024a, 2024b). However, to simulate the effect of adhesion realistically, it has to be completed using a condition that specifies the circumstances where a segment of the substrate follows the sphere and is practically glued to it by adhesion. Thus, a given segment of the substrate is attached to the spherical surface when the distance between them is small enough and detached when the deviation from the surface exceeds a threshold defined by a critical force at a given elastic constant . The corresponding numerical procedure involves solving a set of dynamic equations for the particular segment if these threshold conditions are not satisfied or shifts the elastic segment together with the contacting sphere surface.
To proceed with this model, we applied an external load under which the sphere slowly moved to the surface while acquiring an equilibrium indentation. The vertical motion of its center can be treated as overdamped and described by , where is the sum of the vertical components of the forces from the elastic substrate. When a desirable indentation depth with is established at a given load , we fix the indenter and start pulling. In the simulations, we move the elastic foundation at a constant velocity in the horizontal direction. Owing to the stress and adhesion, the foundation bends and folds. In some places, the elastic material is closer to the indenter than in other places in front of the motion and apparently “jumps” into adhesive contact. As the motion continues, new folds are formed. The material containing indentations can also get close enough to the sphere and form new regions of adhesive contact. However, some empty pores remain between the contact regions; in these places, the elastic segments are still far enough from the hard sphere and are not glued adhesively to its surface. A general sketch of the configuration with such pores is shown in Figure 2A, where the sphere is shown in gray color. The configuration of the elastic surface is shown by the blue curve. The direction of horizontal motion of the substrate with velocity is depicted by the black arrow. The segments of the pore in Figure 2A are marked as connected colored (pink) points. This numerical experiment was purely that of a theoretical system with empty pores (say, in “vacuum”).
FIGURE 2
It is useful to apply this model to clarify the role of air in the real experiments, where air always exists (Koudine et al., 1997; Rand and Crosby, 2006). Air enters the pores and remains within them if the pores close after being formed. The trapped air produces a pressure that varies depending on the pore-size variations; this pressure grows inversely with the pore’s volume, such that the pressure decreases and slows the rate of expansion when it expands. When the pore shrinks, the air pressure increases and prevents collapse; hence, it is expected that the presence of air should stabilize the pores.
To incorporate air into the model, we added it as follows. In space, the boundary of each pore is a set of discrete segments between two limiting sequential points, where the distance between the indenter and elastic foundation becomes zero. One can mark continuous groups of these segments (for example, by pink color as in Figure 2A), find their geometric center(s), and calculate the pore volume(s) in the 2d-plane . Using this information, we can define the air pressure . When the pore expands, the air inside behaves as an ideal gas, and its absolute pressure decreases inversely with the volume . Thus, we have , where and are the pressure and volume at pore formation, respectively, at least in the limit when the volume is sufficiently large . Conversely, when the pore shrinks to an extremely small volume, the compressed air behaves as a non-ideal gas; however, its pressure cannot grow infinitely and tends to a maximum possible value, at which point the air will obligatory leak out of the pore. Thus, in the model frame, we regularize the relation to the following form: . This restricts the pressure to an allowed maximum value of when pore’s volume is much smaller than the original volume . The internal pressure is a vector force acting on the elastic segments surrounding each pore in the radial direction from the center to the periphery. Now, we can formally redefine the equation of motion in the presence of air as follows (cf. Eq. (3)):
Below, we present all the results as comparisons between the cases with and without air while maintaining all the other conditions constant. As a rule, leads to stabilization of the pores and supports coexistence of many pores simultaneously. To demonstrate this, Figure 2B and Figure 2D show the presence of air in different pores through different colors.
Slow vertical lifting of the indenter at the final stage of the routine is shown by the red arrow in Figure 2C and Figure 2D. Both of these are recorded at the same moment in time, close to complete detachment of the sphere. In the case with air, the pores still remain under the sphere almost to the end of the process.
The dynamic processes for the cases with and without air are demonstrated in Supplementary Video S2. Moreover, to enable direct visualization of the process in the form close to that in Figure 2, Supplementary Video S2 simultaneously shows data accumulation for the history of the processes, which are used to further depict them in static form as time–space maps in Figure 3.
FIGURE 3
In particular, these maps reproduce the histories recorded for the inverse distance and relative horizontal velocity of the elastic foundation and sphere without and with air; they are shown in the subplots (A), (B) and (C), (D) of Figure 3, respectively. From Supplementary Video S2, the static pictures show the entrance and movement of the pores under the sphere, which are visualized as deep blue valleys in Figure 3A. The pattern of the moving pores is accompanied by peculiarities of the relative velocity because the entrance of the pores causes movable elastic waves, which propagate faster than the sphere velocity. These are depicted with different slopes of the blue valleys in the velocity map, which are associated with the sphere and two families of collective excitations propagating in both directions; the corresponding motions are shown in Figure 3B by bold magenta as well as thin blue and red lines. Smaller inclination of the line with the vertical axis corresponds to faster propagation of the waves. The model allows us to estimate this velocity as 10 times higher than the speed of the indenter.
We also note the fine structures of the time-dependent distance between the sphere and elastic surface as well as mutual velocities in Figure 3C and Figure 3D, respectively. These complex structures of the depicted values are caused by the simultaneous presence of numerous pores. To elucidate the propagation of the chain of pores inside the system, we show a magnified fragment in Figure 3C marked by the rectangle. Integral information regarding the time-dependent volumes of the pores with and without air is shown in Figure 4A and Figure 4B, respectively. The different colors in the plots correspond exactly to the sequence of different pores shown in the instants in Figure 2. The numerical simulation supports the original idea that the pores exist (and coexist) longer upon being stabilized by the air pressure and that their individual curves overlap in time thereof (in other words, some of the pores exist simultaneously).
FIGURE 4
Moreover, if the vertical velocity is not too high, some of the pores survive through the support of the air inside when the sphere starts to move out of the surface. They exist for a while inside the adhesive “bridge,” which connects the elastic foundation to the gradually receding sphere. To demonstrate this, we specially removed the sphere slowly at the rate of and recorded the pores without and with air in Supplementary Video S2 and in the static pictures shown in Figure 2C and Figure 2D for comparison. In the experiment, pore formation ceases over time owing to the reduction in the adhesive properties (see Figure 1). We did not incorporate this feature into the model; however, the decrease in adhesive strength can be easily accounted for, so it is sufficient to consider the temporal reduction in the critical force at which sliding occurs (see the explanation after Eq. (3)).
4 Conclusion
This work presents an experiment on elastic wave propagation in adhesive contacts. Initially, the adhesive strength was increased via surface chemical treatment of the indenter. However, contamination reduced the adhesive strength over time, altering the friction mode visibly. Wrinkles formed during the initial sliding but ceased over time due to the diminished influence of adhesion. This highlights the absence of a universal adhesive friction mode, necessitating unique theoretical models for specific cases. The present study proposes a model detailing wrinkle formation and propagation under shear stress. We provide valuable insights to researchers on adhesive friction by showing the lack of a universal behavior in adhesive contacts despite existing studies aimed at establishing such behaviors.
