Sliding Friction in the Frenkel-Kontorova Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova model under a steady external force is used to study the nonlinear sliding friction between flat macroscopic surfaces with a lubricant layer in between. The nonequilibrium properties of the model are simulated by a Brownian molecular dynamics and results are obtained as a function of temperature and a microscopic friction parameter η.

Wearless friction is investigated in a simple mechanical model called Frenkel-Kontorova-Tomlinson model. We have introduced this model in [Phys. Rev. B, 53, 7539 (1996)] where the static friction has already been considered. Here the model is treated for constant sliding speed. The motion of the internal degrees of freedom is regular for small sliding velocities or weak interaction between the ...
متن کاملUnderdamped commensurate dynamics in a driven Frenkel-Kontorova-type model.
The dynamics of a Frenkel-Kontorova chain subject to a substrate potential with a multiple-well structure and driven by an external dc force is studied in the underdamped regime. Making a rational choice among the three inherent length scales characterizing the system allows us to consider the possible formation of commensurate structures during sliding over the complex on-site potential. We co...
متن کاملThe static properties of multi-chain Frenkel–Kontorova model: ground state and static friction
The static properties of the multi-chain Frenkel–Kontorova model are studied numerically. In the case of incommensurate structure, the transition by breaking of analyticity appears in each chain. A new hull function h(x), which also shows the transition by breaking of analyticity, is defined. The static friction (depinning force) depends strongly on the strength of the substrate potential, the ...
متن کاملStatic friction on the fly: velocity depinning transitions of lubricants in motion.
The dragging velocity of a model solid lubricant confined between sliding periodic substrates exhibits a phase transition between two regimes, respectively, with quantized and with continuous lubricant center-of-mass velocity. The transition, occurring for increasing external driving force F ext acting on the lubricant, displays a large hysteresis, and has the features of depinning transitions ...
متن کاملLubricated friction between incommensurate substrates
This paper is part of a study of the frictional dynamics of a confined solid lubricant film – modelled as a one-dimensional chain of interacting particles confined between two ideally incommensurate substrates, one of which is driven relative to the other through an attached spring moving at constant velocity. This model system is characterized by three inherent length scales; depending on the ...
