About 30% of the world's primary energy consumption is in friction. The economic losses
caused by friction energy dissipation and wear account for about 2%–7% of its gross …

Friction-induced vibration, particularly the bothersome stick-slip behavior, is a significant
contributor to machine damage and component failure. In this study, the vibrational …

Friction is responsible for about one-third of the primary energy consumption in the world. So
far, a thorough atomistic understanding of the frictional energy dissipation mechanisms is …

Based on a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and quantum theories, this
study discloses the phonon mechanism of angle-dependent superlubricity between black …

Applying external vibrations at the resonant frequencies of the frictional system has been a
highly effective approach to suppress friction but usually requires additional energy …

Resonance, a powerful and pervasive phenomenon, appears to play a major role in human
interactions. This article investigates the relationship between the physical mechanism of …

Due to the coupled contributions of adhesion and carrier to friction typically found in
previous research, decoupling the electron-based dissipation is a long-standing challenge …

Atomistic mechanisms of frictional energy dissipation have attracted significant attention.
However, the dynamics of phonon excitation and dissipation remain elusive for many friction …

Herein, frictional phonon dissipation in monolayer/bilayer graphene was modeled using
phonon spectra based on molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate that the …

Friction is generated due to the relative motion between two contacting objects, involving a
multitude of atoms in the dissipation of translational kinetic energy. Current models often …
