On slip pulses at a sheared frictional viscoelastic/ non deformable interface
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the possibility for a semi-infinite block of linear viscoelastic material, in homogeneous frictional contact with a non-deformable one, to slide under shear via a periodic set of “self-healing pulses”, i.e. a set of drifting slip regions separated by stick ones. We show that, contrary to existing experimental indications, such a mode of frictional sliding is impossible for an interface obeying a simple local Coulomb law of solid friction. We then discuss possible physical improvements of the friction model which might open the possibility of such dynamics, among which slip weakening of the friction coefficient, and stress the interest of developing systematic experimental investigations of this question. 46.35.+z, 46.50.+a, 62.20.Mk, 81.40.Pq, 83.50.Fc Typeset using REVTEX 1

Energy Relations for Sh Waves Interacting with a Frictional Contact Interface
INTRODUCTION The reflection and refraction of horizontally polarized shear (SH) waves by a frictional contact interface that can slip has been studied by the present authors [l-3] and Miller [4-6]. If the solids are sheared, the localized slip induced by the waves is more pronounced in one direction than in the other, which leads to the interesting phenomenon of the solids creeping with respect...
متن کاملThe structure of slip-pulses and supershear ruptures driving slip in bimaterial friction
The most general frictional motion in nature involves bimaterial interfaces, when contacting bodies possess different elastic properties. Frictional motion occurs when the contacts composing the interface separating these bodies detach via propagating rupture fronts. Coupling between slip and normal stress variations is unique to bimaterial interfaces. Here we use high speed simultaneous measur...
متن کاملThe role of viscoelasticity on heterogeneous stress fields at frictional interfaces
We investigate the evolution of heterogeneous stress states along frictional interfaces. Using finite-element simulations, we model the occurrence of precursory slip sequences on a deformable-deformable as well as a deformable–rigid interface between two solids. Every interface rupture creates a stress concentration at its arrest position and erases the stress concentrations produced by previou...
متن کاملStick-slip friction of gecko-mimetic flaps on smooth and rough surfaces.
The discovery and understanding of gecko 'frictional-adhesion' adhering and climbing mechanism has allowed researchers to mimic and create gecko-inspired adhesives. A few experimental and theoretical approaches have been taken to understand the effect of surface roughness on synthetic adhesive performance, and the implications of stick-slip friction during shearing. This work extends previous s...
متن کاملFault rheology beyond frictional melting.
During earthquakes, comminution and frictional heating both contribute to the dissipation of stored energy. With sufficient dissipative heating, melting processes can ensue, yielding the production of frictional melts or "pseudotachylytes." It is commonly assumed that the Newtonian viscosities of such melts control subsequent fault slip resistance. Rock melts, however, are viscoelastic bodies, ...
