Friction on Demand: A Generative Framework for the Inverse Design of Metainterfaces arXiv:2511.03735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Designing frictional interfaces to exhibit prescribed macroscopic behavior is a challenging inverse problem, made difficult by the non-uniqueness of solutions and the computational cost of contact simulations. Traditional approaches rely on heuristic search over low-dimensional parameterizations, which limits…
