Abstract

When a rubber block is squeezed against a nominal flat but rough surface, the rubber bottom surface will penetrate into the substrate roughness profile. The relation between penetration depth \(w\) (or the average interfacial separation \(\bar{u}\)) and the applied squeezing pressure \(p\) determines the (perpendicular) contact stiffness \(K=\hbox {d}p/\hbox {d}w=-\hbox {d}p/\hbox {d}\bar{u}\), which is important for many applications. We have measured the relation between \(p\) and \(\bar{u}\) for a rubber block squeezed against 28 different concrete and asphalt road surfaces. We find a linear relation between \({\mathrm{log}}p\) and \(\bar{u}\), in agreement with theory predictions. The measured stiffness values correlate rather well with the theory prediction.

Contact mechanics for layered materials (in this case rubber slab and rigid (steel) plate) can also be studied within the same formalism as used in deriving Eq. (3)–(5), see [2325]

The filled rubber compound we use exhibits strain softening with an elastic modulus which decreases from \(\approx 12 \ {\mathrm{MPa}}\) to \(\approx 4 \ {\mathrm{MPa}}\) as the strain increases from 0.1 to 10 %. The rubber strain in the asperity contact regions is approximately independent of the nominal contact pressure and relative large so the large strain \(E\)-module is most relevant and we take \(E\approx 4 \ {\mathrm{MPa}}\). The effective modulus for the confined rubber disk is approximately given by the equation derived by Gent and Lindley (see Ref. [16]): \(E_{\mathrm{eff}} \approx E(1+2 S^2)\) where \(S=D/4d \approx 2.5\) (where \(D\approx 10 \, {\mathrm{cm}}\) is the diameter of the disk and \(d=1 \, {\mathrm{cm}}\) the thickness of the disk). Thus, we get \(E_{\mathrm{eff}} \approx 13.5 E \approx 54 \, {\mathrm{MPa}}\).
