PID control is commonly utilized in an active suspension system to achieve desirable chassis attitude, where, due to delays, feedback information has much difficulty regulating the roll and pitch behavior, and stabilizing the chassis attitude, which may result in roll over when the vehicle steers at a large longitudinal velocity.

Our finding explains the experimental observation of Vorvolakos and Chaudhury in 2003, who found that the contact area of a PDMS sphere remains constant during sliding and is in agreement with the JKR solution, at least up to velocity of 1mm/s, and of Carpick et al. Carpick, who observed that the friction force between a platinum-coated atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and the surface of mica in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) varies with load in proportion to the contact area predicted by the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR).
