Understanding the friction laws of Amontons and Coulomb by evaluating the real contact area

Friction is a complex phenomenon that depends on many parameters. Despite this, we still rely on and describe friction in the vast majority of cases with a single value, namely, the coefficient of friction (µ), as first proposed by Amontons in 1699. Later, Coulomb introduced a two-parameter descript...
