  2. Contents 1. Friction. Generalities, history. 2. “Stick-slip” versus smooth sliding; friction mechanisms. 3. Nanofriction: experimental methods. AFM, QCM, SFA… 4. Nanofriction: theory . a). Linear response b). Nonlinear friction in simple models: Prandtl-Tomlinson, Frenkel-Kontorova c). Simulated nanofriction: Molecular Dynamics--applications

  3. FRICTION NANOFRICTION FN FL (MEYER) (BRAUN) FRICTION COEFFICIENT: m = FL/ FN (usually~0.1-1) General Refs: B.N.J. PERSSON, Sliding Friction, Springer (2000); J.KRIM, Surf. Sci. 500, 741 (2002)

  4. RELEVANCE -- FRICTION: energy conservation; machine wear; ... -- NANOFRICTION: basic understanding; nanotechnology.

  5. HISTORY LEONARDO DA VINCI 1. Friction is independent of the geometrical contact area 2. Friction is proportional to normal load AMONTONS Guillaume Amontons (1663-1705)

  6. COULOMB 3. Friction independent of velocity 4. Friction tied to roughness EULER 5. Static vs. dynamic friction

  7. STATIC vs DYNAMIC FRICTION SLIDING VELOCITY Fs= Fd Fk= Fr APPLIED FORCE

  8. WHY FRICTION IS INDEP. OF AREA, AND PROPORT. TO LOAD Philip Bowden 1903-1968 Real contact surface AR= FN/s << A DaVinci-Amonton's law explained: FL = t AR = t FN /s = m FN yield stress BOWDEN - TABOR, 1950s David Tabor 1913-2005

  10. MORE GENERAL SLIDING FRICTION MECHANISMS -- Entanglement of asperities, plastic deformation, wear (commonest macroscopic friction mechanism) -- Viscous friction (fluid interfaces, acquaplaning) -- Phonon dissipation, elastic deformation (flat solid interfaces) -- Bulk viscoelastic dissipation (e.g., car tyres) -- Electronic friction (metals, still being established) -- Vacuum friction (more speculative) -- .....
