Influence of non-hydrodynamic forces on the elastic response of an ultra-thin soft coating under fluid-mediated dynamic loading
The force between two approaching solids in a liquid medium becomes increasingly large with decreasing separation—a phenomenon that prevents contact between the two solids. This growth in force occurs because of the intervening liquid, and studies of such physical systems constitute the classical discipline of lubrication. Furthermore, when the solid(s) …
