SUMMARY

The coefficient of friction for wood on rubber ranges from 0.7 to 0.9, depending on the type of rubber used. This value was derived from tests conducted with a porous piece of plywood. Understanding this coefficient is crucial for applications involving frictional interactions between these materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Knowledge of friction coefficients
  • Understanding of material properties
  • Familiarity with testing methods for friction
  • Basic physics concepts related to motion
NEXT STEPS
  • Research different types of rubber and their friction coefficients
  • Explore testing methods for measuring friction, such as ASTM standards
  • Investigate the impact of surface texture on friction values
  • Learn about applications of wood-rubber interactions in engineering
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and anyone involved in product design or testing that requires knowledge of friction between wood and rubber materials.
