Notes:
Relatively simple forms have been derived for obtaining the total force required to deflect a circular rubber disk of arbitrary dimensions between two rigid platens which offer Coulomb frictional resistance to flow of the rubber. The calculation of the critical radius which separates the regions of frictional adherence and restrained flow is a necessary step in the solution process. Although it cannot be solved for explicitly, an implicit form given herein converged rapidly. The solutions for force can involve differences between very large numbers as the coefficient of friction becomes small. Care should be used to evaluate these quantities in order to avoid round off errors.
