We participated in the XI International Conference on Coupled Problems in Science and Engineering (25-28 May 2025, Villasimius (Italy))!! Prof. Antonio Papangelo presented the latest advancement in the problem of vibroadhesion to the community! Thanks to @ERC_Research and @EU_Commission for funding our research on viscoelastic adhesion through the ERC project SURFACE (ID: 101039198)!
Today, May 6th, 2025 Dott. Ivan Argatov, experienced researcher at Malmö University (Sweden) gave a seminar to the group of TriboDynamics on the adhesion of viscoelastic fibrillar structures!! Very please to have him in Bari and to collaborate with such a high level scientist in contact mechanics within the ERC project “SURFACE” (ID: 101039198).
Log@Ritmi It’s a moment of growth, involvement… of laboratory approach, of culture, comparison, meeting. This is a picture from the talk Prof. Papangelo gave at the event on Friday Jan 31st 2025!!! The talk was entitled “The secrets of the surfaces: a multi-scale journey”. Thanks to the European Research Council for supporting our Research through…
