Combined adhesion and friction of soft elastomeric materials has been addressed by a number of researchers over the years including K.L. Johnson. Some links:

• K.L. Johnson, Adhesion and friction between a smooth elastic spherical asperity and a plane surface, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A (1997) 453, 163–179. (JKR model)
  • Direct link to RS journal
• Savkoor and Briggs The effect of tangential force on the contact of elastic solids in adhesion, Proc. R. Soc. 1977.
• Kendall tape peeling model -- an anisotropic model with somewhat gecko-like characteristics.

Somewhat related also are the Gao and Yao adhesion papers? studied in ME393, 02Nov05.

Different, but interesting link to micro adhesive bonding

Sticky system model(Pinciple of adhesion structure) by Sangbae Kim

Sticky system model presentation file

- Defining Sticky element and sticky structure, it explains and simulates maximum sticky force according to stiffness of structure, roughness of surface and engaging force.. etc. Also, there is application of the model which is 'claw design'.

Sticky element

The smaller sticky element that composes upper scale sticky system. The sticky element produces force in the opposite direction of the force acting on the element (especially detaching force) like static friction force

Sticky structure

The structure that configures sticky element to generate optimized sticky force. In other words, the structure that delivers force from the sticky element to upper scale structure. There are two different type of sticky structure. One is discrete structure, the other is continues one.

Sticky force

Minimum external force that detaches sticky element or system
