Fracture Mechanics and Solid Adhesion

Abstract

The forces insuring the adhesion between two solids are the same as those insuring cohesion of solids i.e. Van der Waals, metallic, covalent, ionic. Fig.(1) displays the potential and the force of interaction between two half-spaces for Van der Waals forces. When the separation increases from the interatomic equilibrium distance Z 0, the attraction force increases up to a maximum, the theoretical strength σ th , and then decreases. The work needed to completely separate the two halfspaces is two times the surface energy γ if they are identical, or the Dupré energy of adhesion ω = γ1 + γ2 – γ12 if they are different (γ12 is the interfacial energy of the two solids in contact).
