Adhesive interactions strongly characterize the contact mechanics of softbodies as they lead to large elastic deformations and contact instabilities. Inthis paper, we extend the Interacting and Coalescing Hertzian Asperities (ICHA)model to the case of adhesive contact. Adhesion is modeled according to animproved version of the Johnson, Kendall & Roberts (JKR) theory, in whichjump-in contact instabilities are conveniently considered as well as thelateral interaction of the asperities and the coalescence of merging contactspots. Results obtained on complex fractal geometries with several lengthscales are accurate as demonstrated by the comparison with fully numericalsimulations and experimental investigations taken from the literature. Also,the model quite well captures the distributions of the contact stresses, gaps,and contact spots.
