Movie S6.

FEM computation of the sliding elastic orthogonal clasp. This movie shows a sequence of the sliding clasp of configuration 3 as described in Fig. 4 of the main text. The 3D configuration of the clasp is presented on the left and its 2D contact map representation is on the right. The range of a normalized load considered is 0 ≤ fz ≤ 0.1. The colorbar represents contact pressure.
