Stick-slip statistics for two fractal surfaces: A model for earthquakes
Following the observations of the self-similarity in various length scales in the roughness of the fractured solid surfaces, we propose here a new model for the earthquake. We demonstrate rigorously that the contact area distribution between two fractal surfaces follows an unique power law. This is then utilised to show that the elastic energy releases for slips between two rough fractal surfac...
متن کاملEntropy Content During Nanometric Stick-Slip Motion
To explore the existence of self-organization during friction, this paper considers the motion of all atoms in a systems consisting of an Atomic Force Microscope metal tip sliding on a metal slab. The tip and the slab are set in relative motion with constant velocity. The vibrations of individual atoms with respect to that relative motion are obtained explicitly using Molecular Dynamics with Em...
متن کاملStuctural and Dynamic Properties of Hexadecane Lubricants under Shear Flow in a Connned Geometry
Using shear dynamics simulations we investigated the structure and dynamics of hexadecane (n-C 16 H 34) lubricant lms connned between two solid surfaces (Fe 2 O 3) covered with a self-assembled monolayer of wear inhibitors dithiophosphate molecules DTP = S 2 P(OR) 2 with R = iPr, iBu, and Ph]. We found signiicant density oscillations in the lubricant lms, especially near the top and bottom boun...
متن کاملTri-critical behavior in rupture induced by disorder
We discover a qualitatively new behavior for systems where the load transfer has limiting stress amplification as in real fiber composites. We find that the disorder is a relevant field leading to tri–criticality, separating a first-order regime where rupture occurs without significant precursors from a secondorder regime where the macroscopic elastic coefficient exhibit power law behavior. Our...
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...
