Friction of tyre tread compounds on rough surfaces: a combined experimental and theoretical study

Relevant rubber-road friction mechanisms can include adhesion, rubber hysteresis and various kinds of viscous friction. In this paper we shed a light on this complicated physical problem by means of a combined experimental and theoretical approach. Friction of selected tyre tread compounds on a rough surface is measured in the laboratory by means of a linear friction tester for several contact pressures and sliding velocities for several rubber compounds with a priori designed distinctive compositions. Experimental results are analyzed and discussed from chemical and physical points of view by the aid of extensive theoretical modeling of rubber friction. We conclude with a comparison of lab-experiments and simulation results to the actually measured tyre braking performances for the tested tread compounds.
