• Rubber covered rollers
• Rolling contact
• Hysteresis heating
• Heat conduction
• Analytical models

In a previous paper, an approximate model for the contact between a rubber covered roller and a rigid roller was developed as analytical functional relationships connecting geometric parameters and material properties of the rubber to nip properties such as maximum contact pressure, etc. in a two-dimensional relationship. The results from that development are used in this work, with the objective to provide a means of estimating the temperature rise due to hysteresis heating. In the heat conduction modelling, one-dimensional steady state heat conduction is assumed. The heat source is a power input coming from internal friction developed during the rolling contact. The power input is expressed by the hysteresis in the rubber represented by a loss angle of the material together with the peripheral speed and some parameters taken from the previously developed contact model. The temperature distribution is calculated in accordance with temperature and heat flow boundary conditions.
