Stick-Slip Motion and Phase Transition in a Block-Spring System
نویسنده
چکیده
We study numerically stick slip motions in a model of blocks and springs being pulled slowly. The sliding friction is assumed to change dynamically with a state variable. The transition from steady sliding to stick-slip is subcritical in a single block and spring system. However, we find that the transition is continuous in a long chain of blocks and springs. The size distribution of stick-slip motions exhibits a power law at the critical point.

ec 2 00 4 Transition from Stick - Slip to Uniform Motion in the Rice - Ruina Model ∗
We analyze the Rice-Ruina state and rate dependent friction model. The system consists of a block driven by a spring with constant velocity on a dry, rough surface. Our discussion is limited to the creep-like motion, when the driving velocity is small. Two regimes of motion are observed: stick-slip and steady sliding. The stability of the steady sliding depends on the model parameters. Numerica...
متن کاملFracture and friction: Stick-slip motion.
We discuss the stick-slip motion of an elastic block sliding along a rigid substrate. We argue that for a given external shear stress this system shows a discontinuous nonequilibrium transition from a uniform stick state to uniform sliding at some critical stress which is nothing but the Griffith threshold for crack propagation. An inhomogeneous mode of sliding occurs when the driving velocity ...

When some granular material contained into a silo is pushed upwards with a piston, an irregular stick-slip motion of the system of grains is observed. We show how one can adapt the 'Scalar Arching Model' (sam) – proposed as a model for giant stress fluctuations in silos – in order to describe this stick-slip phenomenon. As a function of the sensitivity of the system to mechanical noise, the sys...

We present numerical solutions of the equations of motion of the driven spring-block model with stick-slip dynamics. The system consists of an array of N masses which describes the statistical and dynamic properties of dissipative systems. In this study, we are interested in very low and very high velocity regimes. We show that there is a clear shift in the distribution of slip-force when we ...
متن کاملStick–slip boundary friction mode as a second-order phase transition with an inhomogeneous distribution of elastic stress in the contact area
This article presents an investigation of the dynamical contact between two atomically flat surfaces separated by an ultrathin lubricant film. Using a thermodynamic approach we describe the second-order phase transition between two structural states of the lubricant which leads to the stick-slip mode of boundary friction. An analytical description and numerical simulation with radial distributi...
