Friction and Nonlinear Dynamics
N. Manini, O. M. Braun, E. Tosatti +2
The nonlinear dynamics associated with sliding friction forms a broad interdisciplinary research field that involves complex dynamical processes and patterns covering a broad range…
Propagation Length of Self-healing Slip Pulses at the Onset of Sliding: A Toy Model
Oleg Braun, J Scheibert
Macroscopic sliding between two solids is triggered by the propagation of a micro-slip front along the frictional interface. In certain conditions, sliding is preceded by the propa…
Dependence of boundary lubrication on the misfit angle between the sliding surfaces
O. M. Braun, Nicola Manini
Using molecular dynamics based on Langevin equations with a coordinate- and velocity-dependent damping coefficient, we study the frictional properties of a thin layer of "soft" lub…
Master equation approach to friction at the mesoscale
Oleg Braun, Michel Peyrard
At the mesoscale friction occurs through the breaking and formation of local contacts. This is often described by the earthquake-like model which requires numerical studies. We sho…
Molecular rolling friction: the cogwheel model
O. M. Braun, Erio Tosatti
With the help of a two-dimensional model we study rolling lubrication by circular (2D fullerenes) molecules for a wide range of parameters. The conditions under which microscopic r…
Modeling friction on a mesoscale: Master equation for the earthquake-like model
Oleg Braun, Michel Peyrard
The earthquake-like model with a continuous distribution of static thresholds is used to describe the properties of solid friction. The evolution of the model is reduced to a maste…
