Tribological Properties of Silicone Rubber-Based Ceramizable Composites Destined for Wire Covers. Part I. Studies of Block-On-Ring Friction Contact
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2015, Vol 37, Issue 2
Abstract
Ceramizable composites of silicone rubber matrix become more and more popular materials destined for wire covers, what can enhance fire safety of building increasing operation time of important equipment or devices (eg fire sprinklers, elevators, alarms etc). Aim of the research was to examine tribological properties and wear of commercially available silicone rubber-based ceramizable composites against steel, in configuration – steel block on composite ring, under various load (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 N). Changes to friction force in time were monitored by a tribotester, whereas wear of the composite surfaces were determined using an optical microscope. Performed studies demonstrate, that tribological characteristics and wear of the composites depend significantly on the origin of material.

A Multi Asperity Model of Contact Between a Smooth Sphere and a Rough Flat Surface in Presence of Adhesion
Multi asperity elastic-plastic adhesive contact between a smooth sphere and a rough flat surface is considered. To incorporate the effect of adhesion, JKR (Johnson–Kendall–Roberts) contacts are assumed and the mixed aspe...
Improve Simulation of Plain Bearings in Dry and Mixed Lubrication Regime by Defining Locally Resolved Dry Friction Coefficients
Asperity friction is a main indicator for wear and heat conduction [1]. It occurs when thickness of oil film shrinks due to high load or slow speed. Friction is scientifically well known as long as it is dominated by la...
Friction and Wear in Timing Belt Drives
Timing belt tooth goes into contact with a drive pulley, stretched to the maximum, because of the previous tension. When the contact begins the peak of the belt tooth makes the contact with the outer surface of the pulle...
