Friction mediated by transient elastic linkages : asymptotic expansions and fat tails
Résumé
We construct an asymptotic expansion for the integral delay operator already introduced in [Milisic and Oelz 2011, 2015] and show how to improve convergence rates already obtained in the latter papers. Moreover, we weaken one of the major hypotheses made on the off-rates in the previous works : we do not assume exponential decay of the linkages' density. Instead, polynomial decrease is allowed, leading to stronger adhesions and slower motions of adhesion sites.
