Using molecular dynamics we study the dependency of the contact mechanics on the sliding speed when an elastic block (cylinder) with a cos(q_{0}x) surface height profile is sliding in adhesive contact on a rigid flat substrate. The atoms on the block interact with the substrate atoms by Lennard-Jones potentials, and we consider both commensurate and (nearly) incommensurate contacts. For the incommensurate system the friction force fluctuates between positive and negative values, with an…

• 2006
A detailed model which takes into account the influence of thermal fluctuations on the depinning of small contact patches at the rubber-substrate interface is developed, predicting that the velocity dependence of the macroscopic shear stress has a bell-shaped form and that the low-velocity side exhibits the same temperature dependence as the bulk viscoelastic modulus.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
• 2018
The origin of static friction is investigated, the threshold force at which a frictional interface starts to slide, and for rough contacts involving rubber or human skin, the real contact area significantly decreases under increasing shear, well before the onset of sliding.

Measurements of the shear stress distribution at a frictional interface between a flat rubber substrate and a glass lens suggest that simple notions of real contact area and constant interface shear Stress cannot account for the observed changes in local friction when roughness is varied.
