Non-Linear Increase of the Real Contact Area of PMMA Blocks and the Related Contact Model by Zhijun Luo, Kai Wu, Shaoze Yan

“…In this paper, the real contact area between two polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) blocks under heavy load is measured using the total reflection method, and the contact area is analyzed using the image processing method. The results show that the real contact area increases with normal load linearly in light loads but non-linearly in heavy loads; the number of contact spots increases with load linearly in light loads but also non-linearly in heavy loads, synchronous with the change in the real contact area. …”
