Macroscopic: Friction is amazingly simple Microscopic: Friction is amazingly complicated B ig i dea F= µN Where µ: Depends only on material Is independent of contact area Is near 1 Is independent of sliding velocity How could Something so Simple Come from Something so Complicated?

Macroscopic: Friction is amazingly simple Microscopic: Friction is amazingly complicated Roughness at every length scale Plastic and Elastic deformations Adhesion and Interlocking of Asperities Oxide Layers, Adsorbed Layers, Hydrocarbon Chains Phononic and Electronic Drag Many-body Quantum Mechanical Problem Aspects of the problem are too big for QM… A Polished surface: bumps up to ≈ 200nm: too large … Yet too small for Statistical Mechanics. How could Something so Simple Come from Something so Complicated?

Truth is stranger than Friction

da Vinci is Da Man Da Vinci made careful, quantitative studies of friction ca. 1490-1496 “Friction produces double the amount of effort if the weight be doubled.” [Codex Forster III 72 r] “The friction made by the same weight will be of equal resistance at the beginning of its movement although the contact may be of different breadth or lengths.” [Codex Forster II, 133r & 133v]

da Vinci is Da Man Also: Lubricants; Roller Bearings; Inclined Plane with Friction; Abrasion; Roughness
7
Friction is Simple: Amontons’ Laws F= µN µ depends on materials only Independent of contact area µ k is largely independent of sliding velocity Coefficient of Friction is rarely outside.02-3 Very small range for a material property
8
Coulomb is Cool, Mon Friction due to Interlocking Asperities Lifting over asperities Bending asperities Breaking asperities (not whole truth) Interlocking: important for metals; not primary Adhesion is primary friction mechanism Adhesion should increase with area of contact Asperity just means “Bump”

Profilometer Scans of Steel Surfaces (note scale) STM Scans of Silver T he T raditional T heory of F riction Bowden and Tabor, 1940: Solid surfaces are highly irregular True area of contact far less than apparent area
10
True Area Increases with Load Ex: steel cube 10 cm on a side, on steel table True area δA ≈ 0.1 mm 2, 10 -5 of apparent area Junctions have diameter ≈ 10 µm about 1000 junctions [Persson p47]
11
Interlocking is not important
12
We can now produce F = µ N This yields the Coulomb equation The true area is proportional to load Friction is from shearing cold-welded junctions Since τ and σ are usually similar in magnitude, this explains why typically µ ≈ 1

Computers are Too Small Space requirements Consider a sample 0.1 mm x 0.01 mm x 1 µm … Hardly macroscopic, but still 10 15 atoms! For 100 bytes/atom, need 100,000,000 GB (3D)! Time requirements Characteristic timescale of chemical interactions: 1 fs Therefore 1 µs of simulation takes 10 9 timesteps CPU Speeds Units are GFlops, Giga Floating point Operations Per Second Measured 20 min / G atom · timestep · GFlop 1200 op / atom · timestep Therefore, 1 µs of simulation takes 20 min/atom·GFlop We need about a GFlop/atom! Preposterously too slow! In all, we need 10 24 atom·timesteps

Spontaneous Pure Shear Crack

Seeded, Ignited Shear Crack
31
Does this Model Qualitatively Explain Friction? Coefficient of Friction Do we get a threshold -σ vs. τ for traveling cracks? That is, do we get a Coefficient of Friction µ? Is robustness or nucleation imposing the threshold? Is µ Independent of Contact Area? Is µ a Sensible Physical Value? Is µ k Independent of speed? What are the size effects?
32
F uture W ork Three different issues: Does it capture qualitative physics of friction? Does it make quantitatively correct predictions? If it does succeed in the general sense, why? That is, how can something so simple replace something so complicated? OK, Then is any of it True?
33
How might something so Simple model something so Complicated? Carefully prepared atomically flat surfaces Might be boring: Laboratory Curiosity Special case: Nanomachines Earthquakes Original inspiration for the new theory Model of the process for individual asperities Surface behaves as simple aggregate flat interface Right Picture, for Simple Reasons
34
How might something so Simple model something so Complicated? This could be a picture of asperities, not atoms Traveling crack hops from asperity to asperity Right Picture, for Complicated Reasons
35
How might something so Simple model something so Complicated? Clever Mathematical Mapping Surface is fractal – contact at every scale (Polished surfaces: half wavelength ≈ 300nm: large) Conjecture: A Renormalization argument might imply that the fractal surface ends up being a boring flat surface Right Picture, for Complicated Reasons
36
S ummary Laziness Discard “Correct” Model for “Simple” Flat Rigid Surfaces Impatience Numerical Work requires either way, way too much time, or just the right amount of cleverness Hubris Chutzpah to assert this model is correct Work will give insight to where & how it is correct. For those who fell asleep after the first slide You may view the slides for this talk at http://www.mrflip.com/research/talks Our research is guided by the Three Virtues of Programming: Laziness, Impatience, Hubris [Wall 91]
