Adhesion of an axisymmetric elastic body: ranges of validity of monomial approximations and a transition model.

The adhesion forces between two bodies in contact were experimentally observed by Roberts (1968) and Kendall (1969). In these experiments it was noted that the contact areas at low loads were considerably larger than those predicted by Hertz theory. Several models were then introduced to add the adh...
