A liquid-crystal model for friction.
Rate-and-state friction is an empirical approach to the behavior of a frictional surface. We use a nematic liquid crystal in a channel between two parallel planes to model frictional sliding. Nematic liquid crystals model a wide variety of physical phenomena in systems that rapidly switch between st...
