Frictional oscillations in elastomeric sliding

The impetus for this study was the noise generated by an automotive stabilizer bar, rotating in an elastomeric bushing. The focus of the research is to determine the conditions under which noise or stick-slip occurs. Elastomers tested include natural rubber with 0,5,10, 20, and 50 phr (parts per hun...
