Abstract

The viscoelastic response of polymeric solids to sliding contact conditions is observed and analyzed with respect to the sliding speed, material composition, and geometry. It was discovered that polymeric solids produced their own distinct viscoelastic signatures that cause resonance at certain sliding speeds which can be explained with resonance conditions for electromagnetic waves. The observed viscolelastic phenomenon is characterized with respect to the relaxation and recovery times for rigid polymeric solids. It is confirmatory as a demonstration of proof of existence of viscoelasticity and self-organization in these materials under sliding contact conditions. Viscoelastic observations are also made on the aged specimens in sliding contact.
