Barbieri, Ettore (author), Botto, L. (author)In the non-dissipative regime, the potential energy is the difference between the strain energy of the deforming solid and the work done by the external forces. For configuration-dependent external forces, whose direction is perpendicular to the deformed shape, we obtain a simple formula for the strain energy release rate of peeled strips...journal article 2022

Bian, Jianjun (author), Nicola, L. (author)It has been demonstrated through experiments and simulations that friction decreases significantly when graphene is used as a solid lubricant on various materials. However, the effect of increasing the number of graphene layers on lubrication is controversial. Some studies predict an increase of friction with the number of layers that can be...journal article 2022

Verbiest, G.J. (author), Goldsche, M. (author), Sonntag, J. (author), Khodkov, T. (author), von den Driesch, N. (author), Buca, D. (author), Stampfer, C. (author)Coupled nanomechanical resonators are interesting for both fundamental studies and practical applications as they offer rich and tunable oscillation dynamics. At present, the mechanical coupling in such systems is often mediated by a fixed geometry, such as a joint clamping point of the resonators or a displacement-dependent force. Here we...journal article 2021
