How to Make the Skin Contact Area Controllable by Optical Calibration in Wearable Tactile Displays of Softness [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
Virtual reality systems may benefit from wearable (fingertip-mounted) haptic displays capable of rendering the softness of virtual objects. According to neurophysiological evidence, the easiest reliable way to render a virtual softness is to generate ...

Plantar Pressure and Contact Area Measurement of Foot Abnormalities in Stroke Rehabilitation [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
Background: Evaluation of plantar pressure in stroke patients is a parameter that could be used for monitoring and comparing how the timing of starting a rehabilitation program effects patient improvement. Methods: We performed the following clinical and

Dissipation of vibration in rough contact [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The relationship which links the normal vibration occurring during the sliding of rough surfaces and the nominal contact area is investigated. Two regimes are found.

Effect on oxides on surface topography and thermal contact resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
The effect of oxides on the topographies of various random engineering surfaces and steady-state thermal contact resistances between oxidefree and oxidized metallic surfaces in contact in high vacua have been investigated. The results of many previous

Elastic Rough Surface Contact and the Root Mean Square Slope of Measured Surfaces over Multiple Scales

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2021
This study investigates the predictions of the real contact area for perfectly elastic rough surfaces using a boundary element method (BEM). Sample surface measurements were used in the BEM to predict the real contact area as a function of load.

A preliminary attempt to combine in situ CT measurements with permeability tests of fractured granite cores

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023
We introduced a core-flooding test equipment with the triaxial cell having been made available to in situ computed tomography (CT) scanning. Water flow-through tests were conducted on 38 mm-diameter fractured granite cores containing either saw-cut or ...

Adhesion Between Rigid Indenter and Soft Rubber Layer: Influence of Roughness

open access: yesFrontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
We report a series of experiments on the indentation of steel indenters into a soft layer of transparent rubber with relatively high adhesion. The roughness properties of the steel indenters are varied by undergoing preparation using sandpaper with ...

Mechanics Analysis of Rough Surface Based on Shoulder-Shoulder Contact

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Proper methods and models for mechanical analysis of rough surface can improve the theory of surface contact. When the topography parameters of two rough surfaces are similar, the contact should be considered shoulder-shoulder rather than top-top.

Surface Hierarchy: Macroscopic and Microscopic Design Elements for Improved Sliding on Ice

open access: yesLubricants, 2021
Frictional interaction with a surface will depend on the features and topography within the contact zone. Describing this interaction is particularly complex when considering ice friction, which needs to look at both the macroscopic and microscopic ...
