The rapid evolution of flexible electronic devices promises to revolutionize numerous fields
by expanding the applications of smart devices. Nevertheless, despite this vast potential, the …

In this research, the adhesion properties of bonded composite-to-aluminium joints are
evaluated using floating roller peel tests. Tests were performed using two different …

This paper focuses on modeling of the interface between a rigid substrate and a thin elastic
adherend subjected to mixed-mode loading in the peel test configuration. The context in …

This study aimed to develop a film-forming gel containing honey aromatic water (HW) and
royal jelly (RJ) for cosmetic applications as a facial peel-off mask. HW, which is industrial …

An analytical model of peeling of an elastic tape from a substrate is presented for large
deformations and scenarios where sliding occurs in the adhered regions, with this motion …

This work presents a survey of computational methods for adhesive contact focusing on
general continuum mechanical models for attractive interactions between solids that are …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers are commonly used as dielectric electroactive
polymers (DEAPs). DEAP films are used in making actuators, generators and sensors. In the …

Inspired by the experimental observation that the maximum peeling force of elastic films on
rigid substrates does not always emerge at the steady-state peeling stage, but sometimes at …

Stretchable electronics offer increased design freedom of electronic products. Typically,
small rigid semiconductor islands are interconnected with thin metal conductor lines on top …
