In figure 6 of our paper (Vega-Martínez et al. Reference Vega-Martínez, Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Khabakhpasheva and Korobkin2019), incorrect values of the plate lifted height, $h_{e}$ , were used for the horizontal axis. These values correspond to correct measurements of the plate height, but at later times, due to a mistake in the frame rate of one of the videos that was introduced in the image processing algorithm. As a consequence, the values of $h_{e}$ shown in figure 6 are inconsistent with those in figure 5(b), which are the right ones. Figure 1 of this corrigendum is the correct version of figure 6 of the paper.

Note that, when the right data are plotted, the agreement between the experimental measurements and the theoretical prediction by Korobkin, Khabakhpasheva & Rodríguez-Rodríguez (Reference Korobkin, Khabakhpasheva and Rodríguez-Rodríguez2017) is actually better than what was shown in the original paper.
