This paper addresses the issue of the determination of the frictional stress distribution from the inversion of the measured surface displacement field for sliding interfaces between a glass lens and a rubber (poly(dimethylsiloxane)) substrate. Experimental results show that high lateral strains are achieved at the periphery of the sliding contacts. As a consequence, an accurate inversion of the displacement field requires that finite strains and non linear response of the rubber substrate are taken into account. For that purpose, a Finite Element (FE) inversion procedure is implemented where the measured displacement field is applied as a boundary condition at the upper surface of a meshed body representing the rubber substrate. Normal pressure is also determined by the same way, if non-diverging values are assumed at the contact edge. This procedure is applied to linearly sliding contacts as well as on twisting contacts.

In this paper, we report on new experimental results on the effects of in-plane surface stretching on the friction of Poly(DiMethylSiloxane) (PDMS) rubber with smooth rigid probes. Friction-induced displacement fields are measured at the surface of t he PDMS substrate under steady-state sliding. Then, the corresponding contact pressure and frictional stress distributions are determined from an inversion procedure. Using this approach, we show that the local frictional stress $tau$ is proportional to the local stretch ratio $lambda$ at the rubber surface. Additional data using a triangular flat punch indicate that $tau(lambda)$ relationship is independent on the contact geometry. From friction experiments using pre-stretched PDMS substrate, it is also found that the stretch-dependence of the frictional stress is isotropic, i.e. it does not depend on the angle between stretching and sliding directions. Potential physical explanations for this phenomenon are provided within the framework of Schallamachs friction model. Although the present experiments are dealing with smooth contact interfaces, the reported $tau(lambda)$ dependence is also relevant to the friction of statistically rough contact interfaces, while not accounted for in related contact mechanics models.

A MEMS-based sensing device is used to measure the normal and tangential stress fields at the base of a rough elastomer film in contact with a smooth glass cylinder in steady sliding. This geometry allows for a direct comparison between the stress pr ofiles measured along the sliding direction and the predictions of an original textit{exact} bidimensional model of friction. The latter assumes Amontons friction law, which implies that in steady sliding the interfacial tangential stress is equal to the normal stress times a pressure-independent dynamic friction coefficient $mu_d$, but makes no further assumption on the normal stress field. Discrepancy between the measured and calculated profiles is less than 14% over the range of loads explored. Comparison with a test model, based on the classical assumption that the normal stress field is unchanged upon tangential loading, shows that the exact model better reproduces the experimental profiles at high loads. However, significant deviations remain that are not accounted for by either calculations. In that regard, the relevance of two other assumptions made in the calculations, namely (i) the smoothness of the interface and (ii) the pressure-independence of $mu_d$ is briefly discussed.
We report a dynamical-mechanical study of stress relaxation at small deformation in a natural (polyisoprene) rubber well above its glass transition temperature Tg. We find that an almost complete relaxation of stress takes place over very long period s of time, even though the elastic network integrity is fully retained. The relaxation rate and the long-time equilibrium modulus are sensitive functions of temperature which do not follow time-temperature superposition. Many characteristic features of non-ergodic ageing response are apparent at both short and very long times. We interpret the observed behaviour in terms of the properties of rubber crosslinks, capable of isomerisation under stress, and relate the results to recent models of soft glassy rheology.
We simultaneously measure the static friction and the real area of contact between two solid bodies. Under static conditions both quantities increase logarithmically in time, a phenomenon coined aging. Indeed, frictional strength is traditionally con sidered equivalent to the real area of contact. Here we show that this equivalence breaks down when a static shear load is applied during aging. The addition of such a shear load accelerates frictional aging while the aging rate of the real area of contact is unaffected. Moreover, a negative static shear - pulling instead of pushing - slows frictional aging, but similarly does not affect the aging of contacts. The origin of this shear effect on aging is geometrical. When shear load is increased, minute relative tilts between the two blocks prematurely erase interfacial memory prior to sliding, negating the effect of aging. Modifying the loading point of the interface eliminates these tilts and as a result frictional aging rate becomes insensitive to shear. We also identify a secondary memory-erasure effect that remains even when all tilts are eliminated and show that this effect can be leveraged to accelerate aging by cycling between two static shear loads.
In this work, we investigate dissipative effects involved during the detachment of a smooth spherical glass probe from a viscoelastic silicone substrate patterned with micro-asperities. As a baseline, the pull-off of a single asperity, millimeter-siz ed contact between a glass lens and a smooth poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) rubber is first investigated as a function of the imposed detachment velocity. From a measurement of the contact radius a(t) and normal load during unloading, the dependence of the strain energy relase rate G on the velocity of the contact line vc = da/dt is determined under the assumption that viscoelastic dissipation is localized at the edge of the contact. These data are incorporated into Mullers model (V.M. Muller J Adh Sci Tech (1999) 13 999-1016) in order to predict the time-dependence of the contact size. Similar pull-off experiments are carried out with the same PDMS substrate patterned with spherical micro-asperities with a prescribed height distribution. From in situ optical measurements of the micro-contacts, scaling laws are identified for the contact radius a and the contact line velocity vc. On the basis of the observed similarity between macro and microscale contacts, a numerical solution is developed to predict the reduction of the contact radius during unloading.
