Descriptionstanding on the sledge who pours a fluid onto the ground immediately in front of thernsledge. Since friction occurs in many applications which are of technical importance,rnfamous researchers in the past have investigated frictional contact problems, amongstrnthem DA VINCI, who in the 15th century measured friction force and had alreadyrnconsidered the influence of the contact area on the friction force using blocks with differentrncontact area but the same weight (see Dawson (1979) and Figure 1.6).
