Friction control with nematic lubricants via external fields.
We study the connection between sliding friction and the phase behavior of a simple rigid bead-necklace model of a liquid crystal (LC) lubricant layer confined between two parallel plates. The dynamics is dependent on competing LC ordering mechanisms, including the direction of sliding, and an applied (electric) field. Together with temperature and an applied pressure, determining whether the l...
متن کاملInternally architectured materials with directionally asymmetric friction
Internally Architectured Materials (IAMs) that exhibit different friction forces for sliding in the opposite directions are proposed. This is achieved by translating deformation normal to the sliding plane into a tangential force in a manner that is akin to a toothbrush with inclined bristles. Friction asymmetry is attained by employing a layered material or a structure with parallel 'ribs' inc...
متن کاملEllipsometric studies of the nematic-substrate interface
2014 The interface of a nematic 7CB solid substrate has been studied by optical ellipsometry. The phase difference between 0 and E rays, 0394 = 03B4p 03B4s, and the angle 03C8 = tan-1 | rp/rs | are measured as a function of incidence angle and temperature. To fit the experimental data, an exponential interfacial region having a density rising to ~ 0.6-1.5 % and an order parameter 17-40 % greate...
متن کاملFriction law and hysteresis in granular materials.
The macroscopic friction of particulate materials often weakens as the flow rate is increased, leading to potentially disastrous intermittent phenomena including earthquakes and landslides. We theoretically and numerically study this phenomenon in simple granular materials. We show that velocity weakening, corresponding to a nonmonotonic behavior in the friction law, [Formula: see text], is pre...
متن کاملFriction and wear of restorative dental materials.
Many different instruments have been developed for the measurement of friction and wear.1-5 Often the instrument was designed to accommodate some particular type of material, environment, or test condition. Studies reported in the dental literature have been limited to wear measurements with simulated toothbrushing methods,6-9 or on prosthetic teeth mounted on an articulator.10 This study will ...
