| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a friction tester that can visualize bulk deformations and real contact regions for sliding friction of low modulus materials (rubber, gel, etc.) with surface roughness. By using this apparatus, it has become possible to experimentally measure the relationship between the bulk deformation of the sliding material and the frictional force. Furthermore, an elementary process friction model was derived to quantify the relationship between bulk deformation characteristics and friction force. The model can mathematically express the effect of the contact pressure on the friction coefficient (the ratio of normal stress to shear stress). By incorporating the friction constitutive equation obtained by this model into the finite element method etc., it became possible to predict the effect of bulk deformation on the friction force of the system by numerical simulation.
