ABSTRACT
This.chapter.summarizes.early.scientific.research.carried.out.to.understand. the.basic.mechanisms.of.rubber.friction..Relevant.findings.of.the.investigations.are.presented.that.led.to.the.current.acceptance.of.three.distinct.friction.forces.that.develop.when.rubber.slides.on.a.harder.surface:.(1).adhesion,. (2).bulk.deformation.hysteresis,.and.(3).wear.
