Modeling and MD simulations of water-filled blisters. MD simulation results (circular markers) best agree with our simplified model assuming a frictionless, sliding interface (modified weak shear). The deviations, especially under small height or aspect ratio, are attributed to the size limitation of MD, which can induce discrete behaviors. (Inset) The figure demonstrates how the shape of the blister changes for different values of the work of adhesion.
