A time-free, drift-free, multi-dimensional model of friction is introduced. A discrete implementation is developed which exhibits four solution regimes: sticking, creeping, oscillating, and sliding. Its computational solution is efficient to compute online and is robust to noise. It is applied to haptic rendering.

conclusions the results have shown a significant negative correlation between secure style and marital dissatisfaction. there were positive significant relationships between marital dissatisfaction and variables of insecure style, ambivalent style, difficulty in identifying emotions, and externally oriented thinking, but there was not any significant relationship between marital dissatisfaction...

In describing the geotropic conduct of young rats (RaUus norvegicus) t we have stressed the fact that to obtain data suitable for quantitative treatment of the gravitational orientation it is necessary to employ individuals of the closest possible similarity. This has meant, in practice, employing litter mates from lines long inbred, under external conditions as nearly uniform as possible. The ...

The ski resort town of St Moritz, Switzerland, is partially constructed on a large creeping landslide, which has been causing damage to buildings and infrastructure. At the town centre, the landslide is constrained by a rock outcrop, creating a compression zone in the sliding mass. After decades of gradual slowing down,s in the beginning of 1990s the landslide started to accelerate, in spite of...
