The adhesion and surface energy of elastic solids
Open accessAbstract
An equilibrium theory of adhesion between elastic solids is developed. Adhesion is shown to depend on the interfacial surface energy and on the geometry and elastic constants of the adherent bodies. The theory is used to interpret the well-known adhesion tests - the pull-off, peel and scratch tests - and the spontaneous peeling of thin films is discussed. Experiments on contacts between Perspex and gelatine surfaces support the analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
