My research is aimed at discovering the contact area of a rubber specimen by emitting a red line laser on the rubber specimen under diametrical compression in a universal press machine.
Does anybody did already any research in this way ?
The optical study of contact area by method of holographic interferometry is described in paper Mossakovsky V.I., Petrov V.V. About Influence of Friction on Microslip // Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of USSR .– 1976.– Vol. 231.– No. 3.– P. 603-606 (in Russian).
