Characterising the friction coefficient between rubber O-rings and a rigid surface under extreme pressures

Previous research into the friction behaviour of elastomers has typically focused on the effects of velocity, contact pressure, counter surface and lubrication on the coefficient of friction. O-ring type elastomer seals are common in many different industries. Friction plays a critical role during t...
