This lecture focuses on the tearing of an elastic film from an adhesive substrate, studying the film's elasticity, adhesion, and tearing interplay to generate a constant tearing angle. The session covers the film's specific shape evolution, energy variations, bending energy estimation, and force balance during the tearing process.
