Sliding friction of rubber

Nature, 1975
WE report experiments demonstrating that it is possible to predict quantitatively the level of friction arising when a smooth rubber sphere slides on glass. Analysis of the sliding friction is based on a surface energy approach. Observations show that when a smooth rubber surface advances over glass by a continuous peel process (Schallamach waves) the ...

Rubber friction directional asymmetry

EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2016
In rubber friction studies it is usually assumed that the friction force does not depend on the sliding direction, unless the substrate has anisotropic properties, like a steel surface grinded in one direction. Here we will present experimental results for rubber friction, where we observe a strong asymmetry between forward and backward sliding, where ...

Friction of Rubber

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1966
Abstract A theory of the adhesional friction of rubber is developed by considering adhesion as a time-dependent process in which a tangential force helps to overcome an energy barrier of the work of adhesion. The frictional phenomenon, as a consequence of such adhesion, would arise primarily from deformation of the rubber aggregates in contact ...

Friction of Rubber

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1960
Abstract It is not intended in this paper to attempt to mention all the wide variety of aspects of rubber friction which have been discussed in the literature. The objective is to draw attention to two interesting aspects, namely, that the maximum friction does not arise until some movement occurs and that, in the general case, velocity alone ...

Friction and abrasion of rubber

Wear, 1958
Abstract Experimental evidence is adduced for the view that rubber friction is similar in character to viscous flow and therefore, in contrast to solid friction, not necessarily accompanied by abrasion. This theory implies that the forces of rubber friction are proportional to the true area of contact.

General theory of frictional heating with application to rubber friction

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2015
The energy dissipation in the contact regions between solids in sliding contact can result in high local temperatures which may strongly effect friction and wear. This is the case for rubber sliding on road surfaces at speeds above 1 mm s(-1). We derive equations which describe the frictional heating for solids with arbitrary thermal properties.

Lubricated Friction of Rubber. V. Influence of Rubber Resilience and Hardness on Friction

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1968
Abstract The dominant importance of hysteresis in lubricated friction of rubber was first outlined by Tabor and has been extensively confirmed since. A number of workers have also shown that dry friction is correlated with hysteresis, but the mechanistic connection is still unclear.
