JKR and Other Adhesion Models

JKR Model

 Equation (1) in nondimensional form may be restated as
(14)

where the nondimensional external force and contact radius are defined as
,   (15)

Calculation Models

JKR-DMT 1

JKR-DMT 1


JKR-DMT 2

JKR-DMT 2


Variation of the nondimensional contact radius with the nondimensional force is shown in Figure 2. Note that for , Equation (14) and Figure 2 shows that .

The corresponding resistance moment about point O in Figure 1 as a function of nondimensional force is given as
(16)

Figure 3 shows the variation of the resistance moment as predicted by the JKR model. The corresponding maximum resistance moment then is given by
(17)

and
(18)

The resistance moment at  is . Also
