Schematic of bond clusters under constant force F. (a) F is equally shared by all closed bonds. (b) An inclined angle θ is kept between two rigid plates, so that the force is linearly distributed on each row of bonds. (c) The detachment of a BFP-loaded cell from the substrate surface; the force at the adhesion front is nonlinearly distributed on each bond.
