A force controlled tribometer for pre-sliding measurements at the nanometer scale
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2023 In the pre-sliding friction regime, interfaces partially stick and partially slip. The pre-slip is thought to be locally initiated at regions of the interface where the ratio of shear stress to normal stress exceeds a critical value.
