Abstract

A modified method for contact-induced adhesion on the elastic deformation contact between a rigid spherical indenter and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) specimen is proposed in the present study. Adhesion due to van der Waals interactions was found to be minimal during loading processes. During the unloading process, the experimental load-displacement data revealed two-stage phenomena. The successive advancing contacts between the specimen and the indenter were considered to induce interfacial adhesion and resulted in elastic tension outside the Hertzian contact radius. A real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) was applied to evaluate how adhesion energy varied with penetration depth.
