Geckos as Springs: Mechanics Explain Across-Species Scaling of Adhesion
One of the central controversies regarding the evolution of adhesion concerns how adhesive force scales as animals change in size, either among or within species. A widely held view is that as animals become larger, the primary mechanism that enables them to climb is increasing pad area. However, prior studies show that much of the variation in maximum adhesive force remains unexplained, even w...
متن کاملMechanics of Particle Adhesion
The fundamentals of particle-particle adhesion for ultrafine particles (d < 10 μm) are presented using continuum mechanics approaches. The models for elastic (Hertz, Huber), elastic-adhesive (Derjaguin, Johnson, Maugis, Greenwood), viscoelastic (Yang), plastic-adhesive (Krupp, Molerus, Johnson, Maugis & Pollock) contact displacement response of a single, normal loaded, isotropic, smooth contact...
متن کاملMechanics of reversible adhesion
By pressure-controlled surface contact area, reversible adhesion can be achieved with strengths tunable by 3 orders of magnitude. This capability facilitates robust transfer printing of active materials and devices onto any surface for the development of stretchable and/or curvilinear electronics. The most important parameter in designing the surfaces of stamps for this process is the height of...

متن کاملGrowth, mortality, and life-history scaling across species
Hypothesis: Allometric scaling of mortality versus adult body size across species is predicted by evolutionary life-history theory to be present (and precise) only if all the species in the data set share the same value for the ‘height’ parameter in their body-size growth curves. Results: This basic prediction is tested and supported in a large fish data set, with the various species spanning t...
