Experimental evidence and theoretical models are presented supporting the conjecture that dry friction stick-slip is described by self-organized criticality. We use the data, obtained with a pin-on-disk tribometer set to…

Wet and Dry Friction
There is much debate concerning how wet and dry surfaces affect friction. There is no really good answer without knowing what one surface is wetted with. If, for example, a…
