Robert Horigan Smith, "Analyzing Friction in the Design of Rubber Products and Their Paired Surfaces"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0849381363 | PDF | 424 pages | 5,4 MB
Taking a mechanistic approach that emphasizes the physical behavior of rubber as it slides, Analyzing Friction in the Design of Rubber Products and Their Paired Surfaces integrates the engineering and scientific evidence demonstrating that the laws of metallic friction do not apply to rubber. The book also presents a newly developed, scientifically based unified theory of rubber friction that incorporates a fourth basic rubber friction force: surface deformation hysteresis.
