Closed-Form Expressions for Contact Angle Hysteresis: Capillary Bridges between Parallel Platens

A closed form expression capable of predicting the evolution of the shape of liquid capillary bridges and the resultant force between parallel platens is derived. Such a scenario occurs within many micro-mechanical structures and devices, for example, in micro-squeeze flow rheometers used to ascerta...
