In this paper, we study the stability of an initially straight elastic fibril clamped at one end, while the other end is subjected to a constant normal compressive force and a prescribed shear displacement. We found the buckling load of a sheared fibril to be always less than the Euler buckling load. Furthermore, if the end of the fibril loses adhesion, then the buckling load can be considerably less. Our result suggests that the static friction of microfibre arrays can decrease with increasing normal compressive load and, in some cases, friction force can actually become negative.
本文研究了一端固定、另一端受恒定法向压力和规定剪切位移的初始直线弹性原纤的稳定性。我们发现,剪切原纤的屈曲载荷总是小于欧拉屈曲载荷。此外,如果原纤的一端失去附着力,那么屈曲载荷可能会大大降低。我们的结果表明,微纤维阵列的静摩擦力随法向压缩载荷的增加而减小,在某些情况下,摩擦力实际上可以变为负值。
