Dynamic strain measurements in a sliding microstructured contact
Abstract
A novel experiment is described which measures the tangential strain development across the contact between a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) block and a glass surface during the initial stages of sliding. The surface of the PDMS block has been microfabricated to take the form of a regular array of pyramidal tips at 20 µm separation. Tangential strain is measured by means of light scattering from the interface between the block and surface. Three …
