Surface texture discrimination by reproduced Friction-Induced Vibration stimuli on a dynamic actuator
Résumé
Friction-induced vibrations, generated when sliding the finger on isotropic surface textures, have been measured and analyzed. The same mechanical stimuli have been then simulated by a dynamic actuator and discrimination campaigns have been performed on volunteers, both with the real surfaces and those reproduced owing a dynamic actuator. The results highlight the possibility to discriminate the tested surface textures based on the sole friction-induced vibration stimuli.
