An Experimental Study on the Frictional characteristics of Rubbers

고무류의 마찰특성에 관한 실험적 연구

Using a test apparatus developed Lrt the laboratory, frictional characteristics of natural rubbers have been analyzed by experimental study. Friction coefficient has been calculated from the measured normal force and friction force under various speeds, loads, and temperatures. The relations between the various operating conditions and friction coefficients have been verified. Especially, drag friction due to the visco-elastic behavior of the rubber has been observed in this analysis.
