abstract = "Driven by the industry's needs to address energy dissipation issues in mechanical connections,
the set goals of the global scientific community, and previous research efforts to interpret how
the condition of contact surfaces between two bodies in contact can be significant, a unique
experimental setup has been devised to study the impact of the state of contact interaction
between two bodies on the system's response. The purpose of the designed experimental setup
is to correlate the roughness of contact surfaces with the deformation of a specially designed
experimental sample. The roughness of contact surfaces represents the most dominant
influencing factor in the contact interaction of two bodies. In terms of scale, the study,
measurement, and analysis of surface roughness fall under the micro and nano scales. On the
other hand, the change in deformation of the experimental sample as a result of the change in
roughness falls under the macro scale. Based on all the aforementioned, the fundamental idea of
the designed experimental setup can be seen. Considering that it is not possible to enter into
contact interaction and explicitly analyse the influence of roughness on the response of a
mechanical connection, the idea in overall research is to consider the macro behaviour of a
specially prepared experimental sample depending on the level of roughness of the contact
interaction surfaces at the micro level. The aim of this paper is to present details and challenges
in the construction of an instrument necessary for such precise examinations, named “Precision
Press with Arcs”.",
