Predicting a contact's sensitivity to initial conditions using metrics of frictional coupling

This paper examines two metrics of frictional coupling, which are then used to predict how sensitive a frictional contact’s steady-state behavior is to its initial conditions. Based on a large set of numerical simulations with different contact geometries, material combinations, and friction coeffic...
