Surface profiles with zero and finite adhesion force and adhesion instabilities

Abstract

A simple but general analysis of stability of axis-symmetric adhesive contacts is provided. Adhesion is considered in the JKR-approximation. Depending on the shape of the contacting bodies, various scenarios are possible, including vanishing adhesive force, complete contact as well as transitions between these states.
