Dry solid friction is often accompanied by force modulations originating from stick-slip instabilities. Here a distinct, quasi-static mechanism is evidenced leading to quasi-periodic force oscillations during sliding contact between an elastomer block, whose surface is patterned with parallel grooves, and finely abraded glass slides. The dominant oscillation frequency is set by the ratio between the sliding velocity and the period of the grooves. A mechanical model is proposed that provides a quantitative prediction for the amplitude of the force modulations as a function of the normal load, the period of the grooves and the roughness characteristics of the substrate. The models main ingredient is the non-linearity of the friction law. Since such non-linearity is ubiquitous for soft solids, this fingerprint effect should be relevant to a large class of frictional configurations and might in particular have important consequences in human (or humanoid) active digital touch.

We report here on experiments and simulations examining the effect of changing wall friction on the gravity-driven flow of spherical particles in a vertical hopper. In 2D experiments and simulations, we observe that the exponent of the expected power -law scaling of mass flow rate with opening size (known as Beverloos law) decreases as the coefficient of friction between particles and wall increases, whereas Beverloo scaling works as expected in 3D. In our 2D experiments, we find that wall friction plays the biggest role in a region near the outlet comparable in height to the largest opening size. However, wall friction is not the only factor determining a constant rate of flow, as we observe a near-constant mass outflow rate in the 2D simulations even when wall friction is set to zero. We show in our simulations that an increase in wall friction leaves packing fractions relatively unchanged, while average particle velocities become independent of opening size as the coefficient of friction increases. We track the spatial pattern of time-averaged particle velocities and accelerations inside the hopper. We observe that the hemisphere-like region above the opening where particles begin to accelerate is largely independent of opening size at finite wall friction. However, the magnitude of particle accelerations decreases significantly as wall friction increases, which in turn results in mean sphere velocities that no longer scale with opening size, consistent with our observations of mass flow rate scaling. The case of zero wall friction is anomalous, in that most of the acceleration takes place near the outlet.
In rubber friction studies it is often observed that the kinetic friction coefficient {mu} depends on the nominal contact pressure p. We discuss several possible origins of the pressure dependency of {mu}: (a) saturation of the contact area (and fric tion force) due to high nominal squeezing pressure, (b) non-linear viscoelasticity, (c) non-randomness in the surface topography, in particular the influence of the skewness of the surface roughness profile, (d) adhesion, and (e) frictional heating. We show that in most cases the non-linearity in the {mu}(p) relation is mainly due to process (e) (frictional heating), which softens the rubber, increases the area of contact, and (in most cases) reduces the viscoelastic contribution to the friction. In fact, since the temperature distribution in the rubber at time t depends on on the sliding history (i.e., on the earlier time t0 < t), the friction coefficient at time t will also depend on the sliding history, i.e. it is, strictly speaking, a time integral operator. The energy dissipation in the contact regions between solids in sliding contact can result in high local temperatures which may strongly affect the area of real contact and the friction force (and the wear-rate). This is the case for rubber sliding on road surfaces at speeds above 1 mm/s. In Ref. [14] we have derived equations which describe the frictional heating for solids with arbitrary thermal properties. In this paper the theory is applied to rubber friction on road surfaces. Numerical results are presented and compared to experimental data. We observe good agreement between the calculated and measured temperature increase.
We develop a microscopic picture of shear thickening in dense suspensions which emphasizes the role of frictional forces, coupling rotational and translational degrees of freedom. Simulations with contact forces and viscous drag only, reveal pronounc ed shear thickening with a simultaneous increase in contact number and energy dissipation by frictional forces. At high densities, when the translational motion is severely constrained, we observe liquid-like gear-states with pronounced relative rotations of the particles coexisting with solid-like regions which rotate as a whole. The latter are stabilised by frustrated loops which become more numerous and persistent with increasing pressure, giving rise to an increasing lengthscale of this mosaique-like structure and a corresponding increase in viscosity.

We study the response to shear deformations of packings of long spherocylindrical particles that interact via frictional forces with friction coefficient $mu$. The packings are produced and deformed with the help of molecular dynamics simulations com bined with minimization techniques performed on a GPU. We calculate the linear shear modulus $g_infty$, which is orders of magnitude larger than the modulus $g_0$ in the corresponding frictionless system. The motion of the particles responsible for these large frictional forces is governed by and increases with the length $ell$ of the spherocylinders. One consequence of this motion is that the shear modulus $g_infty$ approaches a finite value in the limit $elltoinfty$, even though the density of the packings vanishes, $rhoproptoell^{-2}$. By way of contrast, the frictionless modulus decreases to zero, $g_0simell^{-2}$, in accordance with the behavior of density. Increasing the strain beyond a value $gamma_csim mu$, the packing undergoes a shear-thinning transition from the large frictional to the smaller frictionless modulus when contacts saturate at the Coulomb inequality and start to slide. In this regime, sliding friction contributes a yield stress $sigma_y=g_inftygamma_c$ and the stress behaves as $sigma=sigma_y+g_0gamma$. The interplay between static and sliding friction gives rise to hysteresis in oscillatory shear simulations.
We consider the fracture of a free-standing two-dimensional (2D) elastic-brittle network to be used as protective coating subject to constant tensile stress applied on its rim. Using a Molecular Dynamics simulation with Langevin thermostat, we invest igate the scission and recombination of bonds, and the formation of cracks in the 2D graphene-like hexagonal sheet for different pulling force $f$ and temperature $T$. We find that bond rupture occurs almost always at the sheet periphery and the First Mean Breakage Time $<tau>$ of bonds decays with membrane size as $<tau> propto N^{-beta}$ where $beta approx 0.50pm 0.03$ and $N$ denotes the number of atoms in the membrane. The probability distribution of bond scission times $t$ is given by a Poisson function $W(t) propto t^{1/3} exp (-t / <tau>)$. The mean failure time $<tau_r>$ that takes to rip-off the sheet declines with growing size $N$ as a power law $<tau_r> propto N^{-phi(f)}$. We also find $<tau_r> propto exp(Delta U_0/k_BT)$ where the nucleation barrier for crack formation $Delta U_0 propto f^{-2}$, in agreement with Griffiths theory. $<tau_r>$ displays an Arrhenian dependence of $<tau_r>$ on temperature $T$. Our results indicate a rapid increase in crack spreading velocity with growing external tension $f$.
