Friction Fluctuations and Friction Memory in Stick-Slip Motion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate that friction is not always an exact number. In a simple lubricated system (atomically smooth mica separated by molecularly thin films of squalane), sinusoidal shear forces were applied for millions of cycles. The kinetic friction increased steadily over repetitive cycles and collapsed intermittently to the average value. Individual slip cycles also consisted of a cascade of smaller slip events. The distribution of fluctuation size and duration followed a power law. [S0031-9007(96)01696-1]

Stick-slip friction and nucleation dynamics of ultrathin liquid films
We develop a theory for stick-slip motion in ultrathin liquid films confined between two moving atomically flat surfaces. Our model is based on the hydrodynamic equation for flow coupled to the dynamic order parameter field describing the ‘‘shear melting and freezing’’ of the confined fluid. This model successfully accounts for the observed phenomenology of friction in ultrathin films, includin...
متن کاملOn the Emulation of Sti Walls and Static Friction with a Magnetically Levitated Input/Output Device
This paper addresses issues of mechanical emulation of sti walls and stick-slip friction with a 6-DOF magnetically levitated joystick. In the case of sti wall emulation, it is shown that the PD control implementation commonly used severely limits achievable wall damping and sti ness. It is also shown that the perceived surface sti ness can be increased without loss of stability by applying a br...
متن کاملStick–slip behavior of ice streams: modeling investigations
A puzzling phenomenon of ice-stream flow is the stick–slip motion displayed by Whillans Ice Stream (WIS), West Antarctica. In this study we test the hypothesis that the WIS stick–slip motion has features similar to those of other known stick–slip systems, and thus might be of the same origin. To do so, we adapt a simple mechanical model widely used in seismology to study classic stick–slip beha...
متن کاملStick-Slip Motion and Phase Transition in a Block-Spring System
We study numerically stick slip motions in a model of blocks and springs being pulled slowly. The sliding friction is assumed to change dynamically with a state variable. The transition from steady sliding to stick-slip is subcritical in a single block and spring system. However, we find that the transition is continuous in a long chain of blocks and springs. The size distribution of stick-slip...
متن کاملDynamic Response of a Simplified Turbine Blade Model with Under-Platform Dry Friction Dampers Considering Normal Load Variation
Dry friction dampers are widely used to reduce vibration. The forced vibration response of a simplified turbine blade with a new kind of under-platform dry friction dampers is studied in this paper. The model consists of a clamped blade as two rigidly connected beams and two dampers in the form of masses which are allowed to slide along the blade platform in the horizontal direction and vibrate...
