In Section 4.2, it is shown that the friction coefficient in the present soft-EHL point contact is not affected by finite deforma- tions although the film thickness and pressure are clearly affected. Accordingly, the regression equation (1) is valid also at high loads. Thus, the comparison of the experimental results with the pre- dictions of the fully nonlinear model discussed below would look exactly the same as the comparison presented in Fig. 2, and such comparison is omitted.
