Motivated by roughness-induced adhesion enhancement (toughening and strengthening) in low modulus materials, we study the detachment of a sphere from a substrate in the presence of both viscoelastic dissipation at the contact edge, and roughness in the form of a single axisymmetric waviness. We show that the roughness-induced enhancement found by Guduru and coworkers for the elastic case (i.e. at very small detachment speeds) tends to disappear with increasing speeds, where the viscoelastic effect dominates and the problem approaches that of a smooth sphere. This is in qualitative agreement with the original experiments of Guduru’s group with gelatin. The cross-over velocity is where the two separate effects are comparable. Viscoelasticity effectively damps roughness-induced elastic instabilities and makes their effects much less important. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
