Contact splitting in dry adhesion and friction: reducing the influence of roughness Open
Splitting a large contact area into finer, sub-contact areas is thought to result in higher adaptability to rough surfaces, stronger adhesion, and a more uniform stress distribution with higher tolerance to defects. However, while it is wi…

Assessing workability of greased bearings after long-term storage Open
Here, we developed a technique to assess the workability of sealed-for-life greased rolling bearings after a long-term storage. In this framework, we devised a model of equivalent transition between the conditions of natural ageing under d…

Biomimetic wall-shaped adhesive microstructure for shear-induced attachment: the effects of pulling angle and preliminary displacement Open
To date, a handful of different gecko-like adhesives inspired by spatula-shaped attachment hairs have been suggested based on wedge and flap geometry of contact elements. However, while these surface designs have been shown to have directi…

How tight are beetle hugs? Attachment in mating leaf beetles Open
Similar to other leaf beetles, rosemary beetles Chrysolina americana exhibit a distinct sexual dimorphism in tarsal attachment setae. Setal discoid terminals occur only in males, and they have been previously associated with a long-term at…

Biomimetic wall-shaped hierarchical microstructure for gecko-like attachment Open
Most biological hairy adhesive systems involved in locomotion rely on spatula-shaped terminal elements, whose operation has been actively studied during the last decade. However, though functional principles underlying their amazing perfor…
