Deep learning-based prediction of time-resolved adhesive forces in viscoelastic Hertzian contacts
Ali Maghami, Merten Stender, Michele Ciavarella, Antonio Papangelo
Fast prediction of the response of adhesive soft viscoelastic contacts represents a current challenge in soft robotics and for gripping and manipulation tasks. Determining the complete time-resolved force trajectory requires full numerical simulations, whose computational cost is…
