Abstract

In this paper, the molecular dynamics simulation method was used to study the friction properties of natural rubber under microscopic conditions. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to simulate the sliding friction of rigid probe on the surface of natural rubber substrate. The glass transition temperature (Tg) was calculated by the relationship between the volume of the model and the temperature. This article focuses on the probe sliding speed on the friction process. The results show that when the sliding velocity of the probe increases, the frictional force, the friction coefficient and the contact area temperature increase during the friction process.
