Abstract
This paper attempts to develop a consistent theory of contact resistance over several decades of force, including effects of surface curvature, surface roughness, and surface films. The concepts developted are supported by analog studies, optical observations, statistical analysis of variations in data, and by quantitative correlation with contact resistance data in both air and vacuum environments.Keywords
