ESMC 2025

The European Solid Mechanics Conference is the major event for the solid mechanics community in Europe, and provides a unique forum for scientists and engineers from Europe and across the world to exchange ideas on the current state-of-the-art in the mechanics of solids, on new concepts and ideas and to identify new research directions. We have partecipated as a group with 4 presentations

• Enhancing and regulating the adhesive performances of soft viscoelastic contacts with microvibrations: an experimental and numerical study

Tricarico Michele, Ciavarella Michele, Papangelo Antonio

• Real-time insight into adhesion of Hertzian indenter unloaded from a broadband viscoelastic substrate through a physic-augmented machine learning model

Maghami Ali, Stender Merten, Papangelo Antonio

• Oscillating a JKR adhesive viscoelastic contact

Ciavarella Michele, Tricarico Michele, Papangelo Antonio

• Viscoelastic crack propagation: is the fracture process zone contribution to dissipation rate-dependent?

Maghami Ali, Wang Qingao, Tricarico Michele, Ciavarella Michele, Li Qunyang, Papangelo Antonio
