Reexamination of Damping in Sliding Friction
Reexamination of Damping in Sliding Friction is a scholarly work, published in 2024 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include gecko, spring, classical mechanics, physics, dynamical friction, dynamics, Friction torque, oscillation, Optomechanics, atomic force microscopy, stiffness, dissipation, kinetic energy, mechanics, materials science, and conservative force. The Amontons' law states that kinetic friction is independent of the sliding velocity while the Prandtl-Tomlinson model suggests that damping is proportional to the relative sliding velocity between two contacting objects.
