“…Due to its ease of application, the pressure-sensitive film technique has been widely used to study contact area and pressure in a wide range of fields (Liggins et al, 1995;Harris et al, 1999;Zdero et al, 2001;Hoffmann and Decker, 2005;Bachus et al, 2006). Pressure-sensitive film can be applied directly onto the impact object to assess the interface force, pressure distribution, and contact area.…”
