Skin-skin contact: The normal-force dependence of the coefficient of friction between a bare finger and artificial skin changes randomly

Abstract: This study investigates the dependence of the coefficients of friction on the normal force produced by sliding a bare finger over different artificial skins with seven levels of hardness. The coefficient of friction was modeled as a power function of the normal force. An experimental study that involved sliding a finger over artificial skin surfaces was carried out under two conditions: the fingertip being wiped by a dry cloth or a cloth soaked in ethanol. Although the exponential term was assumed to be nearly… Show more

“…When a finger slides over an object's surface, the friction force and its fluctuation are affected by the softness of the object [8][9][10][11]. Further, when people explore soft objects, they adopt sliding motions as well as the pushing motion [12][13][14].…”
