Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Variational formulation for adhesion of inflated, enclosed hyperelastic membranes. • Contact balance relations for frictionless and no-slip conditions are obtained. • Pull-off force is bounded by high and low inflation pressure regimes. • Equilibrium contact area follows universal scaling in weak adhesion limit. • Provides quantitative framework for microbial adhesion mechanics.
