Abstract

In the framework of the method of reduction of dimensionality, the dependence of the kinetic coefficient of friction of elastomers with linear rheology on normal loads with a static and an oscillatory part has been examined. It is shown that the sinusoidal excitation leads to a reduction of the coefficient of friction by up to 20 % for a sliding velocity range of two orders of magnitude. The largest reduction of the coefficient of friction occurs at a velocity, which is proportional to the characteristic wave length of the surface and the frequency of the acting normal force.
