Self-Similarity of Friction Laws
arXiv:chao-dyn/9312004 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.49.4534
Abstract
The change of the friction law from a mesoscopic level to a macroscopic level is studied in the spring-block models introduced by Burridge-Knopoff. We find that the Coulomb law is always scale invariant. Other proposed scaling laws are only invariant under certain conditions.}
