From: Onset of frictional sliding of rubber–glass contact under dry and lubricated conditions

(a) The 3-dimensional FEM geometry with meshing; the upper block is the rubber sample and the lower block is a rigid and fixed surface. (b) The rubber sample (in the middle) is loaded vertically in steps by the prescribed displacement and the shear loading is subsequently applied in steps. The displacements are acting on the top surface of the rubber sample.
