Analyzing friction in the design of rubber products and their paired surfaces: designing rubber products and their paired surfaces

Based on the author's extensive analytical evidence, which indicates the existence of microhysteresis in sliding rubber, "Rubber Friction" presents a unified theory of surface deformation hystersis that allows for the design of elastometric products and paired surfaces. This theory results from over 30 different independent rubber friction tests that suggest a fourth rubber friction force. This book provides a detailed discussion of the microhysteresis mechanism and examines arguments from various researchers. With numerous design and how-to examples, this comprehensive text offers practical guidelines and examples to assist in implementing this theory into the analysis and design process.
