Singular viscoelastic perturbation to soft lubrication

Soft lubrication has been shown to drastically affect the mobility of an object immersed in a viscous fluid in the vicinity of a purely elastic wall. In this theoretical article, we develop a minimal model incorporating viscoelasticity, carrying out a perturbation analysis in both the elastic deform...
