Rubber Friction Data from Universal Mechanical Tester (UMT)

<div>This data provides the raw UMT data for a series of rubber slides over dry rough surfaces at two normal loads and velocities. The data shows that by changing the shape of the rubber tested here, a change in dynamic friction is observed.</div><div><br></div><div>The provided dataset is made up of an overview Excel file (CompleteData_RFES_Hale) and a file (RawData) which includes the individual raw data files which are mentioned in the overview file. These raw data files are the files directly provided from the UMT.</div><div><br></div><div>Static CoF is defined as the initial peak in CoF which occurs at which bulk sliding starts.</div><div>Dynamic CoF is defined as the average of CoF readings as bulk sliding is maintained.</div><div><br></div><div>Please consult the corresponding research article "Rubber Friction and the Effect of Shape" for more information and detail relating to this dataset.</div><div><br></div><div>Full paper can be found at: </div><div>Hale, J., Lewis, R., & Carré, M.
