When two bodies are in contact, various surface/subsurface damage problems may arise,
which significantly shorten the service lives of functional components. These damage …

We study the adhesion and friction for three tire tread rubber compounds. The adhesion
study is for a smooth silica glass ball in contact with smooth sheets of the rubber in dry …

We present a novel theory of the adhesive contact of linear viscoelastic materials sliding at
constant velocity against rough substrates. Despite the non-conservative behaviour of the …

Utilizing a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on rubber surfaces is an innovative approach
to improve the wear resistance and tribological characteristics of rubber. In this paper, a …

In this work, we discuss important improvements of asperity models. Specifically, we assess
the predictive capabilities of a recently developed multiasperity model, which differs from the …

I study the influence of temperature and the crack-tip velocity of bond breaking at the crack
tip in rubber-like materials. Bond breaking is considered as a stress-aided thermally …

We have developed a theory of air leakage at interfaces between two elastic solids with
application to suction cups in contact with randomly rough surfaces. We present an equation …

The tribological performance of the rubber composite and tire products is affected by
adhesion behaviors. The sliding friction tests of the CNT/NR composites and related …

Technological advances in electrically active implantable devices have increased the
complexity of hardware design. In particular, the increasing number of stimulation and …

There are two contributions to the friction force when a rubber block is sliding on a hard and
rough substrate surface, namely, a contribution F ad= τ f A from the area of real contact A …
