In this letter a Velcro (R) nonlinear mechanics is presented. In particular, a calculation of the "elastic strength" of hooks with friction is derived. The author quantifies, as the intuition and Velcro (R) material suggest, that hooks (and loops) allow reversible strong attachment, finding elastic plastic or hyperelastic nonlinear behaviors, as a function of the competition between friction and finite displacements. Thus, the author presents here a Velcro (R) nonlinear mechanics to design and optimize hooked systems. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
