Principles of atomic friction: from sticking atoms to superlubric sliding.
Tribology-the science of friction, wear and lubrication-is of great importance for all technical applications where moving bodies are in contact. Nonetheless, little progress has been made in finding an exact atomistic description of friction since Amontons proposed his empirical macroscopic laws over three centuries ago. The advent of new experimental tools such as the friction force microscop...
متن کاملExamining the frictional forces between mixed hydrophobic-hydrophilic alkylsilane monolayers.
Monolayers presenting methyl-terminated (hydrophobic) and hydroxyl-terminated (hydrophilic) surfaces on silica have been studied by molecular dynamics simulation and the effects of hydrogen bonding, chain length, and chain mixing on the frictional properties determined. The hydroxyl-terminated monolayers were found to show large adhesion zones as a result of strong interfacial interlayer hydrog...
متن کاملOnset of frictional slip by domain nucleation in adsorbed monolayers.
It has been known for centuries that a body in contact with a substrate will start to slide when the lateral force exceeds the static friction force. Yet the microscopic mechanisms ruling the crossover from static to dynamic friction are still the object of active research. Here, we analyze the onset of slip of a xenon (Xe) monolayer sliding on a copper (Cu) substrate. We consider thermal-activ...
متن کاملA Frictional Transition is not Fictional
Much of the recent studies have been motivated by the idea that a frictional transition drives these phenomena, and a theoretical framework has been proposed [1]. The rheological behavior predicted by the theory has been verified in numerical simulations [2] and experiments [3]. The experimental study reported in the recent PNAS paper by Cécile Cavaud and collaborators, “reveals” the underlying...
متن کاملTransition Dynamics of Frictional Granular Clusters
Force chains, the primary load-bearing structures in dense granular materials, rearrange in response to applied stresses and strains. These self-organized grain columns rely on contacts from weakly stressed grains for lateral support to maintain and find new stable states. However, the dynamics associated with the regulation of the topology of contacts and strong-versus-weak forces through such...
