It has been observed that an array of nearly parallel ridges is often produced by abrasion on rubber surfaces. This array is called the “abrasion pattern.” The ridges run at right angles to the direction of abrasion, and their profile is asymmetrical with respect to the direction of abrasion. Various properties of the abrasion pattern are described, and its use in the elucidation of the mode of abrasion of tires is discussed.
