Abstract

We investigate the coefficient of friction between a rigid cone and an elastomer with account of local heating due to frictional dissipation. The elastomer is modeled as a simple Kelvin body and an exponential dependency of viscosity on temperature is assumed. We show that the coefficient of friction is a function of only two dimensionless variables depending on the normal force, sliding velocity, the parameter characterizing the temperature dependence as well as shear modulus, viscosity at the ambient temperature and the indenter slope. One of the mentioned dimensionless variables does not depend on velocity and determines uniquely the form of the dependence of the coefficient of friction on velocity. Depending on the value of this controlling variable, the cases of weak and strong influence of temperature effects can be distinguished. In the case of strong dependence, a generalization of the classical “master curve” procedure introduced by Grosch is suggested by using both horizontal and vertical shift factors.
