Abstract
We analyze the physical mechanisms taking place in unlubricated friction between surfaces of micrometric roughness at sliding speeds <100 μm ·s −1 . This analysis is based on extensive experimental investigations of the time and velocity dependences of static and dynamic friction forces, and of non-stationary sliding. It fully supports the state and rate dependent friction model first proposed by Rice and Ruina.
