Observation of Real Contact Area Using Laser Microscope with Wide Field of View

In tribology, a contact condition between mating surfaces is very important to reduce friction and raise their lifetime. Direct observation of apparent contact area is necessary for a better understanding of the contact condition. We examined the distribution of real contact area between a platen ru...
