Figure 2. Typical force profiles of each behavior observed during experimental trials.

Figure 2

These behaviors were characterized as a “U” shaped curve (a), a “V” shaped curve (b), and a “Stick-Slip” curve (c). Arrows denote maximum shear adhesion values where maximum shear adhesion is reached during sliding (a,c) or when maximum shear adhesion is reached first, then sliding occurs (b).
