relevant derived quantities, such as the contact force. Additionally, we design a meta-material (theoretically) from an elastic capsule unit-cell by extending the contact theory to a columnar structure. Several [...] some constraining boundaries. We therefore investigate – for the first time in literature – the contact problem of a pressurized, bending-stiff, adhesive, elastic capsule under an external force both with [...] resulting shape equations give us access to the shape-parameter diagram and allow us to understand the contact problem without performing any experiment. We rather integrate the shape equations numerically and …
