Abstract

Our experimental results about the dynamical behavior of adhesive tape in peeling at a constant peel speed are reported. We focus our attention on spatio-temporal patterns formed by deformed adhesive in peeling on the tape. Because of the viscoelastic nature of adhesive, it is found that the patterns are classified into four types by changing both the peel speed and the stiffness of the system, which is controlled by a spring connected to the tape. In order to explain the experimental results, we propose a model for the pattern formation on adhesive tape in peeling by introducing the state variable representing the stability of a characteristic structure, which is called tunnel structure.
