Abstract
AbstractFriction, especially friction of elastomers, can cause acoustic problems like noise, squeal and comfort drawbacks like vibrations and wear. Therefore, rubber friction affects the function of many products in technical applications, e.g. seals, belts and tires. It can be classified according to different physical phenomena like adhesion, hysteresis, cohesion and viscous friction, see [3]. The topic of this paper is hysteresis friction of rubber that is caused by the energy dissipation due to internal material damping during the process of deformation. The deformation itself occurs during the sliding of a rubber element across the micro‐scaled asperities of a rough surface. In this paper, the sliding process of a rubber element over real surfaces is simulated in time domain and compared to experiments. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
