**Authors:** Michele Ciavarella

arXiv: 1907.06450 · 2019-07-16

## TL;DR

This paper critically examines Muser's proposed dimensionless measure for adhesion in flat surface contacts, discussing its implications and limitations within tribological contact theory.

## Contribution

It provides a detailed commentary on the validity and applicability of Muser's adhesion measure, offering insights and potential improvements.

## Key findings

- Highlights limitations of the proposed measure
- Suggests alternative approaches for adhesion quantification
- Clarifies theoretical assumptions in adhesion modeling

## Abstract
