N2  - It is of practical importance to know the temperature rise through the length of the contact zone when rubber slides on various substrates. Model experiments have been carried out with rubber pads sliding on wood. Temperature measurements were made and compared with theoretical estimates which were derived, allowing for heat conduction, from the frictional work during sliding. The agreement was often excellent, suggesting that the theoretical expressions can be applied with confidence. Experiments were extended to the sliding of rubber on ice. Agreement between the measured and theoretical temperature rise was again satisfactory
