A Static Friction Model for Unlubricated Contact of Random Rough Surfaces at Micro/Nano Scale

A novel static friction model for the unlubricated contact of random rough surfaces at micro/nano scale is presented. This model is based on the energy dissipation mechanism that states that changes in the potential of the surfaces in contact lead to friction. Furthermore, it employs the statistical...
