Abstract
The paper presents a general model for low friction systems. The model describes a self-excited oscillator sliding along a periodic potential and it is subject to a linearly time force. The results show: first, low energy dissipation during the sliding process, and second, an intermittent behaviour between frictionless and non-zero friction sliding states.
