Influence of variations in the pressure distribution on the friction of the finger pad

We investigated the influence of the contact pressure distribution on the friction of the index finger pad. The skin contact pressure distributions were characterised by round profiles for low forces. At higher loads, the pressure distributions of the finger pad became asymmetric and conical. Additi...
