In this paper, a solution to the quasi-static adhesive contact problem between a rigid cylinder and a transversely isotropic substrate is extended to the most general case by taking adhesion hysteresis into account. An analytical solution to the contact stress is obtained by solving the integral equations established on the basis of the Green's function for the two-dimensional transversely isotropic half-space problem. By using equilibrium conditions and Griffith's criterion, the adhesion force and resistant moment to rolling are determined as functions of contact geometries and material properties of the contacting solids. Detailed discussions on the adhesion force and resistant moment are presented for some specific cases, revealing adhesion behaviors that have not been predicted by previous models. As the most generalized solution to the discussed problem, our results would have extensive applications in predicting the adhesion behavior between solids undergoing sophisticated mechanical loadings.

Dynamic adhesion is a key ability for animals to climb smooth surfaces. Spiders evolved, convergent to geckos, a dry adhesive system made of setae branching into smaller microtrichia ending as spatulae. Several previous studies concentrated either on the whole adhesive claw tuft on the spider´s foot that consists of attachment setae or on the single adhesive contact elements, the microtrichia with spatula-shaped tips. Here, the adhesion of single setae of the spider Cupiennius salei was examined and the morphology of the pretarsus and the fine structure of the setae were studied in further detail. Using individual setae fixed to force sensing cantilevers, their adhesion at different contact angles with a glass substrate was measured as well as their adhesive performance on substrates with different roughness and on smooth surfaces with different surface energies. The results show an individual variability of the adhesive forces corresponding to the seta morphology and especially to the seta tip shape. The tip shapes of the setae vary largely even in neighboring setae of the pretarsal claw tuft that comprises approximately 2,400 setae. Regarding surface energy of the substrate, the adhesion force on hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene was 30% of that on a hydrophilic glass substrate, which points to the importance of both van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds in spider adhesion.

Microcontact printing (MicroCP) is a form of soft lithography that uses the relief patterns on a master polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp to form patterns of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of ink on the surface of a substrate through conformal contact. Pyramidal PDMS stamps have received a lot of attention in the research community in recent years, due to the fact that the use of the pyramidal architecture has multiple advantages over traditional rectangular and cylindrical PDMS stamps. To better understand the dynamic MicroCP process involving pyramidal PDMS stamps, in this paper, numerical studies on frictionless adhesive contact between pyramidal PDMS stamps and transversely isotropic materials are presented. We use a numerical simulation method in which the adhesive interactions are represented by an interaction potential and the surface deformations are coupled by using half-space Green's functions discretized on the surface. It shows that for pyramidal PDMS stamps, the contact area increases significantly with increasing applied load, and thus, this technique is expected to provide a simple, efficient, and low-cost method to create variable two-dimensional arrays of dot chemical patterns for nanotechnology and biotechnology applications. The DMT-type and Johnson–Kendall–Roberts (JKR)-type-to-DMT-type transition regimes have been explored by conducting the simulations using smaller values of Tabor parameters.

The plane strain adhesive contact between a periodic wavy surface and a flat surface has been revisited based on the classical Maugis–Dugdale model. Closed-form analytical solutions derived by Hui et al. [1], which were limited to the case that the interaction zone cannot saturate at a period, have been extended to two additional cases with adhesion force acting throughout the whole period. Based on these results, a complete transition between the Westergaard and the Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts (JKR)-type contact models is captured through a dimensionless transition parameter, which is consistent with that for a single cylindrical contact. Depending on two dimensionless parameters, different transition processes between partial and full contact during loading/unloading stages are characterized by one or more jump instabilities. Rougher surfaces are found to enhance adhesion both by increasing the magnitude of the pull-off force and by inducing more energy loss due to adhesion hysteresis.

The influence of a tangential displacement on the strength of the adhesive contacts between gradient materials with different gradings of their properties has been studied. Variants with a controlled force (fixed load) and a controlled displacement (fixed grips) are considered. A relationship between the normal and tangential critical force components at which the contact is destroyed is obtained. It is valid within the whole interval of the gradient parameters, where the detachment criterium is obeyed. The optimal parameters at which the adhesive contact strength is maximum are determined. A case of detachment under the action of only the tangential force, i.e. when the normal force equals zero, is analyzed separately.
