N1  - We thank O D. Gordan (IBN, FZ-Julich) for help with preparing the PDMS rubber blocks and S Dirndls (Strassen NRW, Baustoff-prufung, Aachen) for supplying us with road surface drill cores. This work, as part of the European Science Foundation EUROCORES Programme FANAS was supported from the EC Sixth Framework Programme, under contract N ERAS-CT-2003-980409.
AB  - We briefly review the most important contact mechanic theories regarding the average separation between an elastic solid with a nominal flat surface and a hard solid with a randomly rough surface, as a function of the squeezing pressure. We present experimental results for a silicon rubber (PDMS) block, squeezed against two different road surfaces Finally we compare the theoretical predictions of the different theories with the experimental data (C) 2009 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
