ABSTRACT
It.is.common.engineering.practice.for.the.laws.of.metallic.friction.to.be.applied. to.rubber.products..A.principal.purpose.of.this.book.is.to.demonstrate.that. this.inadvertent.misapplication.is.not.scientifically.correct..A.second.purpose. is.to.introduce.a.unified.theory.of.rubber.friction.incorporating.the.fourth. basic.elastomeric.friction.force:.surface.deformation.hysteresis,.or.microhysteresis,.and.to.exemplify.the.theory’s.use.in.engineering.applications.
