Abstract:a b s t r a c tA two-dimensionally adhesive contact model is established, in which a gas-filled elastic membrane adheres on a stretched substrate. The free energy of the system is achieved, minimization of which leads to the relationship between the contact width and the global substrate strain. The contact solution exhibits three distinct regimes characterized by two threshold strains: (i) the contact size is hardly affected by the external loading acted on the substrate when the global substrate strain is be… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
