On the driven Frenkel-Kontorova model: II. Chaotic sliding and nonequilibrium melting and freezing
Torsten Strunz, Franz-Josef Elmer
The dynamical behavior of a weakly damped harmonic chain in a spatially periodic potential (Frenkel-Kontorova model) under the subject of an external force is investigated. We show…
On the driven Frenkel-Kontorova model: I. Uniform sliding states and dynamical domains of different particle densities
Torsten Strunz, Franz-Josef Elmer
The dynamical behavior of a harmonic chain in a spatially periodic potential (Frenkel-Kontorova model, discrete sine-Gordon equation) under the influence of an external force and a…
Parametric resonance in atomic force microscopy: A new method to study the tip-surface interaction
Franz-Josef Elmer
We propose a new method to investigate interactions involved in atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is a dynamical method relying on the growth of oscillations via parametric resonan…
Controlling friction
Franz-Josef Elmer
Two different controlling methods are proposed to stabilize unstable continuous-sliding states of a dry-friction oscillator. Both methods are based on a delayed-feedback mechanism…
Dry Friction in the Frenkel-Kontorova-Tomlinson Model: Dynamical Properties
Michael Weiss, Franz-Josef Elmer
Wearless friction is investigated in a simple mechanical model called Frenkel-Kontorova-Tomlinson model. We have introduced this model in [Phys. Rev. B, Vol. 53, 7539 (1996)] where…
