Pulling by Pushing, Slip with Infinite Friction, and Perfectly Rough Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
When one rigid object (the pusher) pushes another (the slider) across a horizontal support plane, Coulomb’s law admits some surprising phenomena. First, it is possible to move the slider by moving the pusher away from the slider: pulling. Second, it is possible to obtain slip between the two objects even with an infinite coefficient of friction. Thus the common conception that infinite friction prevents slip is in error. This paper shows examples of the phenomena with both quasi-static and dynamic analysis. It also addresses implications for the concept of perfectly rough surfaces.

Stick-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 کاملJumping without slipping: leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) possess special tarsal structures for jumping from smooth surfaces
Many hemipteran bugs can jump explosively from plant substrates, which can be very smooth. We therefore analysed the jumping performance of froghoppers (Philaenus spumarius, Aphrophoridae) and leafhoppers (Aphrodes bicinctus/makarovi, Cicadellidae) taking off from smooth (glass) and rough (sandpaper, 30 µm asperity size) surfaces. On glass, the propulsive hind legs of Philaenus froghoppers slip...
متن کاملScaling of Rock Friction Constitutive Parameters: The Effects of Surface Roughness and Cumulative Offset on Friction of Gabbro
-We describe experiments in which large (14 x 40 cm nominal contact area) blocks of gabbro were sheared in a direct shear apparatus at room temperature, 5 MPa normal stress, and slip velocities from 0.i to 10#m/s. The apparatus was servocontrolled using a displacement feedback measurement made directly between the gabbro blocks. Two surface roughnesses were studied (rough, produced by sandblast...
متن کاملSurface morphology in engineering applications: Influence of roughness on sliding and wear in dry fretting
Influence of initial surface roughness on friction and wear processes under fretting conditions was investigated experimentally. Rough surfaces (Ra=0.15-2.52 μm) were prepared on two materials: carbon alloy (AISI 1034) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Strong influence of initial surface roughness on friction and wear processes is reported for both tested materials. Lower coefficient of friction ...
متن کاملPushing versus pulling: division of labour between tarsal attachment pads in cockroaches.
Adhesive organs on the legs of arthropods and vertebrates are strongly direction dependent, making contact only when pulled towards the body but detaching when pushed away from it. Here we show that the two types of attachment pads found in cockroaches (Nauphoeta cinerea), tarsal euplantulae and pretarsal arolium, serve fundamentally different functions. Video recordings of vertical climbing re...
