Biological tribosystems enable diverse functions of the human body by maintaining
extremely low coefficients of friction via hydrogel-like surface layers and a water-based …

We present a modified model based on shear rate and aging time dependent static friction
between a soft solid such as gelatin hydrogel and a hard surface for instance glass surface …

In this article, we study the effect of residual strength on frictional properties of soft solids
such as gelatin hydrogels on a smooth glass surface. Two types of sliding experiments …

Biological tribosystems are excellent examples of nature leveraging soft matter properties to
achieve exceptional lubrication for prolonged periods of activity. In these systems …

Adhesion and frictional dynamics of soft solids are of practical importance. We combine both
the experiments and mathematical model to study the static frictional strength of soft gelatin …

Soft solids such as hydrogels and elastomers have found many applications in smart
