Experimental Results
Surface with a Valley
In this experiment, a fingertip is moving from left to right over a valley located approximately in the region bordered by green dotted lines in Figure 1(b). Figures 2 and 3 show a clear pattern of stretch on the left of the bump and compression on the right of the bump.
