We briefly review the most important contact mechanic theories regarding the average separation between an elastic solid with a nominal flat surface and a hard solid with a randomly rough surface, as a function of the squeezing pressure. We present experimental results for a silicon rubber (PDMS) block, squeezed against two different road surfaces Finally we compare the theoretical predictions of the different theories with the experimental data

Abstract
We briefly review the most important contact mechanic theories regarding the average separation between an elastic solid with a nominal flat surface and a hard solid with a randomly rough surface, as a function of the squeezing pressure. We present experimental results for a silicon rubber (PDMS) block, squeezed against two different road surfaces Finally we compare the theoretical predictions of the different theories with the experimental dataI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
