A Generalized Formulation for the Contact Between Elastic Spheres: Applicability to Both Wet and Dry Conditions

The interaction between two elastic spheres with an intervening liquid film of given volume is studied theoretically. Using an energy minimization approach, equilibrium contact configurations are determined through numerical computation. Several dimensionless groups are identified that govern the ch...
