Relaxation Tribometry: A Generic Method to Identify the Nature of Contact Forces
Alain Le Bot, Julien Scheibert, Artem Vasko +1
Recent years have witnessed the development of so-called relaxation tribometers, the free oscillation of which is altered by the presence of frictional stresses within the contact.…
Aftershocks in a frictional earthquake model
O. M. Braun, E. Tosatti
Inspired by spring-block models, we elaborate a "minimal" physical model of earthquakes which reproduces two main empirical seismological laws, the Gutenberg-Richter law and the Om…
Size scaling of static friction
O. M. Braun, Nicola Manini, Erio Tosatti
Sliding friction across a thin soft lubricant film typically occurs by stick-slip, the lubricant fully solidifying at stick, yielding and flowing at slip. The static friction force…
Collective effects at frictional interfaces
Oleg Braun, Michel Peyrard, D. V. Stryzheus +1
We discuss the role of the long-range elastic interaction between the contacts inside an inhomogeneous frictional interface. The interaction produces a characteristic elastic corre…
Dependence of kinetic friction on velocity: Master equation approach
Oleg Braun, Michel Peyrard
We investigate the velocity dependence of kinetic friction with a model which makes minimal assumptions on the actual mechanism of friction so that it can be applied at many scales…
Crystalline misfit-angle implications for solid sliding
Nicola Manini, O. M. Braun
For the contact of two finite portions of interacting rigid crystalline surfaces, we compute the dependence of the pinning energy barrier on the misfit angle and contact area. The…
