abstract = {The understanding and control of human skin contact against
technological substrates is the key aspect behind the design
of several electromechanical devices. Among these, surface
haptic displays that modulate the friction between the human
finger and touch surface are emerging as user interfaces.
One such modulation can be achieved by applying an
alternating voltage to the conducting layer of a capacitive
touchscreen to control electroadhesion between its surface
and the finger pad. However, the nature of the contact
interactions between the fingertip and the touchscreen under
electroadhesion and the effects of confined material
properties, such as layering and inelastic deformation of
the stratum corneum, on the friction force are not
completely understood yet. Here, we use a mean field theory
based on multiscale contact mechanics to investigate the
effect of electroadhesion on sliding friction and the
dependency of the finger–touchscreen interaction on the
applied voltage and other physical parameters. We present
experimental results on how the friction between a finger
and a touchscreen depends on the electrostatic attraction
between them. The proposed model is successfully validated
against full-scale (but computationally demanding) contact
mechanics simulations and the experimental data. Our study
shows that electroadhesion causes an increase in the real
contact area at the microscopic level, leading to an
increase in the electrovibrating tangential frictional
force. We find that it should be possible to further augment
the friction force, and thus the human tactile sensing, by
using a thinner insulating film on the touchscreen than used
in current devices.},
