Description:
A pressure-sensitive film was used to characterize the asperity contacts alonga polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) interface in the laboratory. The film has structuralhealth monitoring (SHM) applications for flanges and other precision fittings and trainrail condition monitoring. To calibrate the film, simple spherical indentation tests wereperformed and validated against a finite element model (FEM) to compare normal stressprofiles. Experimental measurements of the normal stress profiles were within
