Rolling friction and bistability of rolling motion
Thorsten Poeschel, Thomas Schwager, Nikolai Brilliantov +1
The rolling motion of a rigid cylinder on an inclined flat viscous surface is investigated and the nonlinear resistance force against rolling, , is derived. For small veloc…
Adhesive interactions of viscoelastic spheres
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Thorsten Poeschel
We develop an analytical theory of adhesive interaction of viscoelastic spheres in quasistatic approximation. Deformations and deformation rates are assumed to be small, which allo…
Bistability and noise-enhanced velocity of rolling motion
Thorsten Poeschel, Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Alexei Zaikin
We investigate the motion of a hard cylinder rolling down a soft inclined plane. The cylinder is subjected to a viscous drag force and stochastic fluctuations due to the surroundin…
A model for collisions in granular gases
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Frank Spahn, Jan-Martin Hertzsch +1
We propose a model for collisions between particles of a granular material and calculate the restitution coefficients for the normal and tangential motion as functions of the impac…
Rolling friction of a hard cylinder on a viscous plane
Thorsten Poeschel, Thomas Schwager, Nikolai V. Brilliantov
The resistance against rolling of a rigid cylinder on a flat viscous surface is investigated. We found that the rolling-friction coefficient reveals strongly non-linear dependence…
Rolling friction of a viscous sphere on a hard plane
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Thorsten Poeschel
A first-principle continuum-mechanics expression for the rolling friction coefficient is obtained for the rolling motion of a viscoelastic sphere on a hard plane. It relates the fr…
