Evidence for van der Waals adhesion in gecko setae
Kellar Autumn,Metin Sitti,Yiching A. Liang,Anne M. Peattie,Wendy R. Hansen,Simon Sponberg,Thomas W. Kenny,Ronald S. Fearing,Jacob N. Israelachvili,Robert J. Full +9 more
TL;DR: This work provides the first direct experimental evidence for dry adhesion of gecko setae by van der Waals forces, and suggests a possible design principle underlying the repeated, convergent evolution of dry adhesive microstructures in gecko, anoles, skinks, and insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Adhesion in Geckos
Kellar Autumn,Anne M. Peattie +1 more
TL;DR: A reanalysis of prior data, in combination with a recent study, support the van der Waals hypothesis of gecko adhesion, and contradict surface hydrophobicity as a predictor of adhesion force.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential leg function in a sprawled-posture quadrupedal trotter.
TL;DR: The pattern of leg ground reaction forces observed may provide passive, dynamic stability while minimizing joint moments, yet allow high maneuverability, and Integrating limb dynamics with whole body dynamics is required to resolve the trade-offs that result from stable sprawled-posture running with differential leg function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analysis of the scaling of wet and dry biological fibrillar adhesives.
Anne M. Peattie,Robert J. Full +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that fiber morphology is better predicted by evolutionary history and adhesive mechanism than by body size, which means that which morphological parameters are most responsible for the performance of fibrillar adhesives should be identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancestrally high elastic modulus of gecko setal β-keratin
TL;DR: A resonance technique is used to measure elastic bending modulus in two species of gecko from disparate habitats and found no significant difference in elastic modulus between Gekko gecko and Ptyodactylus hasselquistii, suggesting a design constraint that must be compensated for structurally, and possibly explain the remarkable variation in gecko adhesive morphology.
