Abstract

The frictional behavior of elastomer materials is still unexplored, but very important for many industrial applications. Special attention is turned to rubber friction on rough road tracks. Due to the non-rigid material characteristics of the rubber it is not sufficient to use a constant friction coefficient like Coulombs law. The frictional qualities depend on many different influences like sliding velocity, applied normal stress, surface roughness, material properties and the temperature in the contact zone.
