Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The case of contact of polymer and metallic surface has been examined. A formula is proposed for calculating the contact area as a function of time of holding the compression surface under load and for calculating the coefficient of friction, the dependence of Young's modulus and shear strength on temperature, deformation rate, and average force on the contact surface being taken into account. The nature of deformation of irregularities on the surfaces of polymeric materials under the action of normal and tangential loading has been examined.
