On the role of Poisson’s contraction propagation in the creation of squeeze-film assisted levitation

The paper presents results of computer simulation and experimental observations with the main objective of explaining the role of Poisson’s contraction phenomenon in the mechanism of initiating and maintaining squeeze-film action through which light and planar objects can be levitated. Initial and c...
