Journal Article

We perform a thorough qualitative and quantitative comparison of theoretical predictions and direct numerical simulations for the two-dimensional, vertical impact of two droplets of the same fluid. In particular, we show that the theoretical predicti... Read More about Early-time jet formation in liquid–liquid impact problems: theory and simulations.

Methods to solve half-plane partial slip contact problems (2018)
Journal Article
Hills, D., Ramesh, R., Barber, J., & Moore, M. (2018). Methods to solve half-plane partial slip contact problems. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 155, 155-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2018.07.019

There exists a family of methods for finding the extent of partial slip in contact problems between elastically similar bodies, capable of idealisation by half-planes. Closed form solutions are given to problems subject to a constant normal load and... Read More about Methods to solve half-plane partial slip contact problems.

Half-plane partial slip contact problems with a constant normal load subject to a shear force and differential bulk tension (2018)
Journal Article

This article provides a new form of solution to half-plane contact problems in partial slip where a normal load has been applied, held constant and is subsequently loaded with both a shear force and differential bulk tension. It uses a formulation wh... Read More about Half-plane partial slip contact problems with a constant normal load subject to a shear force and differential bulk tension.

On the deflection of a liquid jet by an air-cushioning layer (2018)
Journal Article
Moore, M. R., Whiteley, J. P., & Oliver, J. M. (2018). On the deflection of a liquid jet by an air-cushioning layer. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 846, 711-751. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2018.310

A hierarchy of models is formulated for the deflection of a thin two-dimensional liquid jet as it passes over a thin air-cushioning layer above a rigid flat impermeable substrate. We perform a systematic derivation of the leading-order equations of m... Read More about On the deflection of a liquid jet by an air-cushioning layer.

Solution of half-plane contact problems by distributing climb dislocations (2018)
Journal Article

We derive a novel method for addressing half-plane contact problems by using distributions of climb dislocations over the contact patch to balance the relative overlapping profile of the contacting bodies. Using this technique, we are able to forgo i... Read More about Solution of half-plane contact problems by distributing climb dislocations.
