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 …

In the sliding contact between the fingerpad and a rough surface when touching a product's
surface, friction plays a role in the perception of roughness, slipperiness and warmth. For …

Fast-adapting type 1 (FA-1) and slowly-adapting type 1 (SA-1) first-order tactile neurons
provide detailed spatiotemporal tactile information when we touch objects with fingertips …

The coefficient of friction of most solid objects is independent of the applied normal force
because of surface roughness. This behaviour is observed for a finger pad except at long …

The stick–slip behaviour of the index finger pad sliding on wet, smooth glass was
investigated as a function of normal force and sliding velocity in friction measurements using …

The topic of this paper concerns the relation between friction perception and finger friction
behaviour. Two experiments were processed for some 20 individuals. The aim of the first …

This review gives a concise introduction to the state-of-art techniques used for surface
texturing, eg, wet etching, plasma etching, laser surface texturing (LST), 3D printing, etc. In …

When we touch an object, complex frictional forces are produced, aiding us in perceiving
surface features that help to identify the object at hand, and also facilitating grasping and …

The friction behaviour of the human fingerpad as a function of asperity geometry was
investigated experimentally. Surface textures consisting of evenly distributed spherically …

Ridges are used on many objects to increase the friction and therefore improve the grip.
Currently there has been one study investigating the effect of ridge dimensions, and this only …
