The most interesting thing I saw was that increasing the contact area at high normal forces degraded the performance faster than increasing the contact area at smaller normal forces. That's just the opposite of what I expected. It didn't surprise me that the loads went down with increased surface area, I just thought that your force vs. pressure curve would be more linear.

Very interesting, maybe the carpet interacting with the edge of the material is a significant factor?
