Emergence of the interplay between hierarchy and contact splitting in biological adhesion highlighted through a hierarchical shear lag model
Lucas Brely, Federico Bosia, Nicola M. Pugno
Contact unit size reduction is a widely studied mechanism as a means to improve adhesion in natural fibrillar systems, such as those observed in beetles or geckos. However, these a…
