Prediction of the adhesive behavior of bio-inspired functionally graded materials against rough surfaces

Roughness effect and adhesion properties are important characteristics to be accessed in the development of functionally graded materials for biological and biomimetic applications, particularly for the hierarchical composition in biomimetic gecko robot. A multi-asperities adhesion model to predict...
