Control of friction: shortcuts and optimization for the rate- and state-variable equation
Andrea Plati, Alberto Petri, Marco Baldovin
Frictional forces are a key ingredient of any physical description of the macroscopic world, as they account for the phenomena causing transformation of mechanical energy into heat…
