EFFECT OF SLIP RATE ON THE EFFECTIVE CONTACT AREA AND FRICTION FORCE OF HIGHLY ELASTIC MATERIALS,

Abstract

An investigation is made of the dependence of the friction force and the effective contact area of synthetic rubbers on the slip rate, by means of measurements based on optical instrumentation. For small and large slip rates, the effective contact area was studied while the friction force was related to the rate in accordance with the molecular kinetic theory of friction. (Author)
