Singular dynamics in the failure of soft adhesive contacts
Justin D. Berman, Manjari Randeria, Robert W. Style +6
We characterize the mechanical recovery of compliant silicone gels following adhesive contact failure. We establish broad, stable adhesive contacts between rigid microspheres and s…

The mechanical equilibrium of soft solids with surface elasticity
Robert W. Style, Qin Xu
Recent experiments have shown that surface stresses in soft materials can have a significant strain-dependence. Here we explore the implications of this surface elasticity to show…
