Tribology of Skin: Review and Analysis of Experimental Results for the Friction Coefficient of Human Skin

In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the tribology of human skin and present an analysis of the available experimental results for skin friction coefficients. Starting with an overview on the factors influencing the friction behaviour of skin, we discuss the up-to-date existing experi...
