Excerpt from A Proposed Slip and Texture Sensor These oscillations would therefore indicate that slip had occurred, but, in addition the character of these vibrations would indicate the mode by which the corrugations were set into motion and therefore provide information about the texture of the surface that was in contact with the corrugations. On a closer examination of this problem it can betsqenr'th'atcthereare basically only two modes by which this could be achieved; a friction induced mode or a roughness induced mode. In order to examine these'two modes in more detail it is necessary to simplify the problem by reducing it to a single corrugation in two-dimensions that is fixed at both ends (fig.
