FIG. 7. Indentation follows a 1/R0 decay on substrates of different stiffnesses.

FIG. 7.

(A) Maximum indentation at R=R0 as a function of aggregate size R0 and substrate stiffnesses (0.7 kPa and 2.8 kPa). In both cases we observe that the indentation behavior is well approximated by a 1/R0 decay. (B) Maximum indentation scaled by elasto-capillary length scale, γ/E as function of size R0. Collapse of the data to a single regime indicates that indentation is proportional to elasto-capillary length. Each point represents a single experiment.
