Kinetic Friction of Ice Sliding Slowly over Itself : Physical Mechanisms
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper addresses the coefficient of kinetic friction of relatively warm ice (-50 °C) sliding slowly (<1 m s) over itself and presents physical models to account for two characteristics: velocity-strengthening at lower speeds and velocity-weakening at higher speeds. The models are based upon a combination of creep deformation within a near-surface zone and frictional heating cum localized melting of asperities that protrude from opposing surfaces. Both freshwater ice and saltwater ice are addressed. The paper closes with a comment on the role of friction on brittle compressive failure.

Atomic simulations of kinetic friction and its velocity dependence at Al/Al and -Al2O3/ -Al2O3 interfaces
Kinetic friction during dry sliding along atomistic-scale Al 001 /Al 001 and -Al2O3 0001 / -Al2O3 0001 interfaces has been investigated using molecular dynamics MD with recently developed Reactive Force Fields ReaxFF . It is of interest to determine if kinetic friction variations predicted with MD follow the macroscopic-scale friction laws known as Coulomb’s law for dry sliding and Stokes’ fric...
متن کاملIce internal friction: standard theoretical perspectives on friction codified, adapted for the unusual rheology of ice, and unified
Sea ice contains flaws including frictional contacts. We aim to describe quantitatively the mechanics of those contacts, providing local physics for geophysical models. With a focus on the internal friction of ice, we review standard micro-mechanical models of friction. The solid’s deformation under normal load may be ductile or elastic. The shear failure of the contact may be by ductile flow, ...

In the present work the influence of a LuGre type friction law [cf. to C. Canudas de Wit, H. Olsson, K.J. Aström, P. Lischinsky, A new model for control of systems with friction, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control 40 (1995) 419] on the fundamental mechanisms resulting in linear instability of steady sliding in point contacts is investigated. Both a velocity-dependent kinetic friction coeffi...
متن کاملIce lubrication for moving heavy stones to the Forbidden City in 15th- and 16th-century China.
Lubrication plays a crucial role in reducing friction for transporting heavy objects, from moving a 60-ton statue in ancient Egypt to relocating a 15,000-ton building in modern society. Although in China spoked wheels appeared ca. 1500 B.C., in the 15th and 16th centuries sliding sledges were still used in transporting huge stones to the Forbidden City in Beijing. We show that an ice lubricatio...
متن کاملNanoscale friction varied by isotopic shifting of surface vibrational frequencies.
Friction converts kinetic energy at sliding interfaces into lattice vibrations, but the detailed mechanisms of this process remain unresolved. Atomic force microscopy measurements reveal that changing the mass of the terminating atoms on a surface, and thus their vibrational frequencies, affects nanoscale friction substantially. We compared hydrogen- and deuterium-terminated single-crystal diam...
