Is Self-Organized Criticality Possible in Dry Friction?

  • Chapter
Physics of Sliding Friction

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 311))

Abstract

Various experiments and model simulations are reviewed which were carried out in order to find whether irregular stick-slip motion in dry friction fits into the framework of self-organized criticality.
