The dynamic evolution of an elastic medium undergoing frictional slip is considered. The Coulomb law modeling the contact uses a friction coefficient that is a non-monotone function of the slip-rate.

Viscosity is one of the standard physical properties used for qualifying many industrial products. Various types of viscometers are available, of which the rotational viscometer is the most efficient ...

Viscosity can be defined as the resistance of a fluid to flow. This resistance is caused from the forces of attraction between the fluid molecules. A fluid will only flow if sufficient energy is ...

Rubber-like materials can exhibit both spring-like and flow-like behaviors simultaneously, which contributes to their exceptional damping abilities. To understand the dynamic viscoelasticity of these ...
