Figure 7


Fig. 7. Force vs displacement of setal array loaded and unloaded vertically. The initial section of the curve represents preloading of the array, before full contact with the test surface was made. Following preload, the forces of deformation were statistically linear for deformations up to approx. 50% of array height. Solid and broken arrows indicate linear fits for loading and unloading, respectively.
