Abstract

Surfaces can present high levels of topographic asymmetry and, therefore, theories based on the assumption of symmetry cannot be effectively employed. A new multi-asperity adhesion model that assumes that asperities are not perfectly hemispherical is presented here, this model is based on the elliptical JKR model for a single asperity. The adhesion between a soft tissue with asperities greatly asymmetric and a polymer was modelled, the predicted adhesion forces were successfully validated against experimentally obtained data. Moreover, simulations with a simpler model, which assumes symmetrical asperities, have been also carried out; these results were significantly different from those obtained, using both the newly developed model and those determined experimentally. This highlights the importance of the model presented in this work.
