Measuring contact area in a sliding human finger‐pad contact [PDF]

open access: yesSkin Research and Technology, 2017
AbstractBackground/PurposeThe work outlined in this paper was aimed at achieving further understanding of skin frictional behaviour by investigating the contact area between human finger‐pads and flat surfaces.MethodsBoth the static and the dynamic contact areas (in macro‐ and micro‐scales) were measured using various techniques, including ink printing,

Combined Effect of Contact Area, Aperture Variation, and Fracture Connectivity on Fluid Flow through Three-Dimensional Rock Fracture Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In order to investigate the combined effect of contact area, aperture variation, and fracture connectivity on the fluid flow through a fractured medium, a series of flow simulations were implemented on two types of three-dimensional discrete fracture ...

SR-BLITS: Sharpe ratio’s backward-looking improvement as a trading strategy

open access: yesIIMB Management Review, 2019
A common strategy for a single security or a tradeable asset is to buy-and-hold. Proposed SRBLITS that takes a position based on buy and sell signals which correspond to the maximisation of a backwards-looking Sharpe Ratio (SR) based on past returns.

Time-dependent measurements of length and area of the contact line in contact-boiling regime

open access: yes, 2021
During the impact of a liquid droplet on a sufficiently heated surface, bubble nucleation reduces the contact area between the liquid and the solid surface.

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.

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.
