  We investigate the peel front dynamics and acoustic emission of an adhesive
tape within the context of a recent model by including an additional
dissipative energy that mimics bursts of acoustic signals. We find that the
nature of the peeling front can vary from smooth to stuck-peeled configuration
depending on the values of dissipation coefficient, inertia of the roller, mass
of the tape. Interestingly, we find that the distribution of AE bursts shows a
power law statistics with two scaling regimes with increasing pull velocity as
observed in experiments. In this regimes, the stuck-peeled configuration is
similar to the `edge of peeling' reminiscent of a system driven to a critical
state.
