- Description
- A consistent theoretical description of friction is certainly one of the most challenging topics nature has still in stock. This talk won't contribute to this fundamental issue. We rather analyse a simple phenomenological model. In particular, we will focus on the impact of stochastic forcing on dry friction and the associated stick-slip transition. Analytical solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation and of the corresponding eigenvalue problem will be presented, uncovering the dynamical phenomena in this piecewise smooth stochastic model.
