초록

Rubber has large differences in elastic characteristics from the other solid materials such as metals. Firstly, the rubber exhibits considerably large elastic compliance. Second is highly non-linear elasticity in which the compliance decreases with increase in strain. The main objective in this research is to reveal the dependence of rubber friction upon these elastic characteristics of the rubber in detail. A super elastic FEM analysis is carried out with using an elastic property of practical rubber. From the calculated result, it is cleared that the rubber makes large real contacting area easier than the metals.
