Hi.
To set the context, I'm looking at the elasticity of fluid filled cellular structures with intercellular adhesion. Effectively, objects are stuck together with a glue and I am peeling them apart.
None of the contact conditions in FEBio seem appropriate for adhesion. In theory adhesion can change the contact-compression condition (where contact occurs, stress must be negative/in compression) slightly such that a normal tensile stress g is required to be overcome before the contact zones separate (where contact occurs, stress must be below a positive constant g).
Is there currently any way I could implement this? I hope my explanation is clear.
Kindest regards
