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…

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…

Friction in a solid lubricant film
O. M. Braun, M. Peyrard
Molecular dynamics study of a thin (one to five layers) lubricant film between two substrates in moving contact are performed using Langevin equations with an external damping coef…
