The 3 constant standard triboelastic solid (STS) model and its behaviour are described, in general terms and with specific reference to low frequency shear data for a wide range of filled NR vulcanizates. Good general agreement is found between model and experiment for the data obtained at strain amplitudes down to 0.01; there is also acceptably good correlation between carbon black loading and values of STS constants ER -
