Machine Learning Based Optimal Design of Fibrillar Adhesives
Mohammad Shojaeifard, Matteo Ferraresso, Alessandro Lucantonio +1
Fibrillar adhesion, observed in animals like beetles, spiders, and geckos, relies on nanoscopic or microscopic fibrils to enhance surface adhesion via 'contact splitting.' This con…
