Formation of the true contact area between high-elastic materials and a hard smooth surface

The change in the true contact area between rubber and glass on passing from static to dynamic friction has been studied experimentally. The extent of this change depends on the applied normal load and the contact time. The change of friction force is determined by the conditions of formation of the true contact area under the action of normal and tangential forces.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 2, No. 2, pp. 263–268, 1966
