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)
RELEVANCE -- FRICTION: energy conservation; machine wear; ... -- NANOFRICTION: basic understanding; nanotechnology.
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)
COULOMB 3. Friction independent of velocity 4. Friction tied to roughness EULER 5. Static vs. dynamic friction
STATIC vs DYNAMIC FRICTION SLIDING VELOCITY Fs= Fd Fk= Fr APPLIED FORCE
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

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) -- .....
6. Stick-slip motion vs smooth sliding low velocity &/or soft system high velocity &/or stiff system

LINEAR RESPONSE THEORY < v > /m =F ---->> “viscous” friction m = mobility EINSTEIN RELATION m=D/ kBT D = S (w=0) S (w) = F.T. { <v(t) - v(0)>} VIVISCOUS FRICTION GOOD FOR FLUIDS, BUT NOT FOR SOLIDS: VIOLATES “OBEY” COULOMB’S LAW, F DEPENDENT ON VELOCITY
