Rubber friction: ‘Wet’ schallamach waves
1989
Roberts, A. D.
For dry sliding contact between rubber and a hard counterface, Schallamach showed that relative motion was sometimes only due to ‘waves of detachment’ crossing the contact zone. It now appears that these waves propagate for certain conditions of water lubricated contact. Described here is a study of the wet waves which includes the conditions for their appearance, the observed level of friction and some analysis in terms of surface energy.
