Testing and Analysis of the Peeling of Medical Adhesives From Human Skin
The analysis of peeling tape or a bandage from skin is a challenging problem. Skin is a very complex material made of many layers with anisotropic material properties. Adhesives that bond tapes or patches to skin must attach to skin through moisture and skin movement, but then be removed with …

The development of tools and guidelines for surfing resource management
… the key surfing wave quality indicator of peel angle through both space and time. Effective surfing resource management requires a holistic, inclusive, case-by-case approach, that may require cultural, social and geophysical assessment, which is best implemented proactively with the …

Programmable adhesion in dry and wet environments through geometric design
… 2 explores the mechanical aspects of adhesive peeling. We compare experimental data with theoretical models to discuss the effect of energy dissipation, particularly through the plastic work of the adherend. Chapter 3 introduces kirigami-inspired metamaterial adhesives which utilize nonlinear …

Oceanographic considerations for the management and protection of surfing breaks
Although the physical characteristics of surfing breaks are well described in the literature, there is little specific research on surfing and coastal management. Such research is required because coastal engineering has had significant impacts to surfing breaks, both positive and negative. …
