Effect of normal load on friction coefficient for sliding contact between rough rubber surface and rigid smooth plane

TLDR
In this article, the authors focused on the normal load dependence of the friction coefficient for the sliding friction of a rubber material with a rough surface and developed a friction tester to visualize the real contact regions distributed within the transparent contact interface between poly-dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) and glass surfaces.

Modulation of fault strength during the seismic cycle by grain-size evolution around contact junctions

TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive framework was proposed to describe the effect of grain-size, temperature, real area of contact, gouge thickness, and fault roughness on the strength of faults.

Flutter and divergence instability in the Pflüger column: Experimental evidence of the Ziegler destabilization paradox

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental setup to introduce follower tangential forces at the end of an elastic rod was designed, realized, validated, and tested, in which the follower action is produced by exploiting Coulomb friction on an element (a freely-rotating wheel) in sliding contact against a flat surface (realized by a conveyor belt).

Effects of Normal Load on the Coefficient of Friction by Microscratch Test of Copper with a Spherical Indenter

TL;DR: In this paper, a 120° diamond indenter with a spherical tip radius of 100µm was used to measure the coefficient of friction by microscratch test under different normal loads.

A role of friction-induced torque in sliding friction of rubber materials

TL;DR: In this article, the role of friction-induced torque in sliding friction of rubber materials is investigated, and a friction tester is developed to monitor the friction force between a silicon rubber block and a surface made of PMMA.

Surface energy and the contact of elastic solids

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of surface energy on the contact between elastic solids is discussed and an analytical model for its effect upon the contact size and the force of adhesion between two lightly loaded spherical solid surfaces is presented.

The friction and lubrication of solids

TL;DR: Tabor and Bowden as mentioned in this paper reviewed the many advances made in this field during the past 36 years and outlined the achievements of Frank Philip Bowden, and reviewed the behavior of non-metals, especially elastomers; elastohydrodynamic lubrication; and the wear of sliding surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contact of Nominally Flat Surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new theory of elastic contact, which is more closely related to real surfaces than earlier theories, and showed how the contact deformation depends on the topography of the surface, and established the criterion for distinguishing surfaces which touch elastically from those which touch plastically.

Theory of rubber friction and contact mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case when the substrate surface has a self affine fractal structure and present a theory for the area of real contact, both for stationary and sliding bodies, with elastic or elastoplastic properties.
