Rolling friction for hard cylinder and sphere on viscoelastic solid
, 2010 We calculate the friction force acting on a hard cylinder or spherical ball rolling on a flat surface of a viscoelastic solid. The rolling friction coefficient depends non-linearly on the normal load and the rolling velocity.

Rate-, state-, and pressure-dependent friction model based on the elastoplastic theory
Friction, 2020 Adhesion is one of essences with respect to rubber friction because the magnitude of the friction force is closely related to the magnitude of adhesion on a real contact area. However, the real contact area during sliding depends on the state and history
