Design and technological provision of wear resistance of elastomer surface of rubber-cord casings of damping devices by V. G. Churankin, A. V. Lyamtsev, V. V. Derkach

“…Two main factors are considered that determining the friction between non-lubricated surfaces of an elastomer and a solid base during their relative motion. The first one is adhesion in the areas of real (actual) catalysis and the second factor is the deformation component, which is due to the delay of recovery of the elastomer after the irregularity is introduced and it is called the hysteresis component of friction. …”
