Detachment in capillary adhesion: The relative roles of tilting and separation

Abstract:

We study the dynamics of detachment in 2D capillary adhesion by considering a plate that is initially attached to a flat, rigid substrate via the surface tension of a bridging liquid droplet. In particular, we focus on the effect of allowing the plate to tilt freely during its subsequent motion. A linear stability analysis shows that small perturbations from equilibrium decouple into two modes: one in which the plate separates from the substrate, remaining parallel, and another in which it ti...
