Nucleation of frictional sliding by coalescence of microslip

Styfen Schär,
Gabriele Albertini,
David S. Kammer

Abstract: The onset of frictional motion is mediated by the dynamic propagation of a rupture front, analogous to a shear crack. The rupture front nucleates quasi-statically in a localized region of the frictional interface and slowly increases in size. When it reaches a critical nucleation length it becomes unstable, propagates dynamically and eventually breaks the entire interface, leading to macroscopic sliding. The nucleation process is particularly important because it determines the stress level at which the fricti… Show more
