Biomechanics of ant adhesive pads: frictional forces are rate- and temperature-dependent
Available to Purchase
Journal:
Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2004) 207 (1): 67–74.
Published: 1 January 2004
... and frictional forces in Asian Weaver ants (Oecophylla smaragdina). When forces are acting parallel to the surface, pads in contact with the surface can slide smoothly. Force per unit pad contact area was strongly dependent on sliding velocity and temperature. Seemingly consistent with the effect of a thin...
