ABSTRACT
Since.at.least.the.1950s,.there.has.been.a.lack.of.agreement.among.both.scientific.researchers.and.engineering.practitioners.involved.in.friction.testing.as. to.whether.a.distinct. static.coefficient.of. rubber. friction.exists..This.chapter. addresses.the.static-coefficient-existence.issue..As.one.might.expect,.the.existence.of.“static”.resistance.to.pending.movement.can.be.a.matter.of.definition.
