Optimal load sharing in bioinspired fibrillar adhesives: Asymptotic\n solution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We propose here an asymptotic solution defining the optimal compliance\ndistribution for a fibrillar adhesive to obtain maximum theoretical strength.\nThis condition corresponds to that of equal load sharing (ELS) among fibrils,\ni.e. all the fibrils are carrying the same load at detachment, hence they all\ndetach simultaneously. We model the array of fibrils as a continuum of linear\nelastic material that cannot laterally transmit load (analogous to a Winkler\nsoil). Ultimately, we obtain the continuum distribution of fibril's compliance\nin closed-form solution and compare it with previously obtained data for a\ndiscrete model for fibrillar adhesives. The results show improving accuracy for\nan incremental number of fibrils and smaller center-to-center spacing.\nSurprisingly, the approximation introduced by the asymptotic model show reduced\nsensitivity of the adhesive strength with respect to misalignment and improved\nadhesive strength for large misalignment angles.\n

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
