Luedtke, and Ribarsky (1989), and Landman, Luedtke, and Ringer (1992)
using computer simulations. Carlson and Batista (1996) have developed
a comprehensive rate-and-state dependent friction force law. This model
includes an analytic description of the time-dependent freezing and melting
transitions of a lm, resulting in a friction force that is a function of slid-
ing velocity in a natural way. This model predicts a full range of stick−slip
behavior observed experimentally.
It was observed (Berman et al. 1996) that the experimental results of sliding
with liquid lubricants ...
