...Grant M. Cox; Ngamta Thamwattana; Scott W. McCue; James M. Hill One approach to modeling fully developed shear flow of frictional granular materials is to use a yield condition and a flow rule, in an analogous way to that commonly employed in the fields of metal plasticity and soil mechanics...

...Bharat Bhushan; Shaobiao Cai Adhesion, friction/stiction, and wear are among the main issues in various commercial applications, including magnetic storage devices, microelectromechanical systems, and nanoelectromechanical systems, having contact interfaces with normal or tangential motion...

...J. Awrejcewicz; P. Olejnik This survey is devoted to the significant role of various dry friction laws in engineering sciences. Both advantages and disadvantages of a frictional process are illustrated and discussed, but excluding the nature of friction. It is shown how the classical friction laws...
