Role of Hydrodynamic Drainage in Adhesion to Wet Surfaces
Rohini Gupta, Joelle Frechette
Tree frogs possess soft structured toe pads with channels that help squeeze out fluid from the region between the toe pad and the contacting surfaces. This structure enables them t…
Elastic deformation during dynamic force measurements in viscous fluids
Yumo Wang, Georgia Pilkington, Charles Dhong +1
Understanding and harnessing the coupling between lubrication pressure and elasticity provides materials design strategies for applications such as adhesives, coatings, microsensor…
Morphology of soft and slippery contact via fluid drainage
Yumo Wang, Joelle Frechette
The dynamic of contact formation between soft materials immersed in a fluid is accompanied by fluid drainage and elastic deformation. As a result, controlling the coupling between…
Elastic Deformation of Soft Coatings Due to Lubrication Forces
Yumo Wang, Matthew R. Tan, Joelle Frechette
Elastic deformation of rigid materials with soft coatings (stratified materials) due to lubrication forces can also alter the interpretation of dynamic surface forces measurements…
Coupled effects of applied load and surface structure on the viscous forces during peeling
Charles Dhong, Joelle Frechette
Tree frogs are able take advantage of an interconnected network of epithelial cells in their toe pads to modulate their adhesion to surfaces under dry, wet, and flooded environment…
