Sumario:Abstract Continuous approaching and detaching displacement usually occurs in an adhesion test. Here, we found a transient adhesion force at the end of a non-fully detached contact. This force occurred when the nominal detaching displacement was less than the traditional quasi-static theory predicted zero force point. The transient adhesion force was ascribed to interfacial adhesion hysteresis, which was caused by the cracking process of the contact and the deformation competition between the sphere and supporting spring. Results indicated that the testing of adhesion can be significantly affected by different combinations of stiffnesses of the contact objects and the supporting spring cantilever. This combination should be carefully designed in an adhesion test. All these results enabled increased understanding of the nature of adhesion and can guide the design of adhesive actuators.
