Static Friction between Elastic Solids due to Random Asperities
arXiv:cond-mat/0006209 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.3312
Abstract
Several workers have established that the Larkin domains for two three dimensional nonmetallic elastic solids in contact with each other at a disordered interface are enormously large. This implies that there should be negligible static friction per unit area in the macroscopic solid limit. The present work argues that the fluctuations in the heights of the random asperities at the interface that occur in the Greenwood-Williamson model can account for static friction.
