We investigate the controllability of some kinds of driftless affine systems where hysteresis effects are taken into account, both in the realization of the control and in the state evolution. In particular we consider two cases: the one…
The influence of out-of-plane oscillations on friction is a well-known phenomenon that has been studied extensively with various experimental methods, e.g. pin-on-disk tribometers. However, existing theoretical models have yet achieved only…
We study a model of two layers, each consisting of a d-dimensional elastic object driven over a random substrate, and mutually interacting through a viscous coupling. For this model, the mean-field theory (i.e. a fully connected model)…
In this study, we propose a theory of rough adhesive contact of viscoelastic materials in steady-state sliding. By exploiting a boundary formulation based on Green function approach, the unknown contact domain is calculated by enforcing the…
Recently, the possibility of exploiting the phenomenon of spin transition (ST) has been intensively investigated, therefore, it is particularly important to study the behavior of ST under various stimuli. Here, the shape and content of the…
The tribology of a sliding elastic continuum in contact with a disordered substrate is investigated analytically and numerically via a bead-spring model. The deterministic dynamics of this system exhibits a depinning transition at a finite…
We examine the dynamics of a two-dimensional stripe, bubble, and crystal forming system interacting with a periodic one-dimensional substrate under an applied drive that is rotated with respect to the substrate periodicity direction $x$. We…

Dense granular systems subjected to an imposed shear stress undergo stick-slip dynamics with systematic patterns of dilation-compaction. During each stick phase, as the frictional strength builds up, the granular system dilates to…
To study the microscopic origins of friction, we build a framework to describe the collective behaviour of a large number of individual micro-junctions forming a macroscopic frictional interface. Each micro-junction can switch in time…
Wetting of actual surfaces involves diverse hysteretic phenomena stemming from ever-present imperfections. Here we clarify the origin of wetting hysteresis for a liquid front advancing or receding across an isolated defect of nanometric…
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine hysteretic effects and distinctions between equilibrium and non-equilibrium aspects of particle adsorption on the walls of nano-sized fluidfilled channels. The force on the particle and the…
Planar sliding of objects is modeled and analyzed. The model can be used for non-prehensile manipulation of objects lying on a surface. We study possible motions generated by frictional contacts, such as those arising between a soft finger…
The influence of a strong surface potential on the critical depinning of an elastic system driven in a random medium is considered. If the surface potential prevents depinning completely the elastic system shows a parabolic displacement…
In the present work we consider a diatomic granular crystal, consisting of alternating aluminum and steel spheres, where the first sphere is an aluminum one. The combination of dissipation, driving of the boundary, and intrinsic…
We investigate the impact of noise on a two-dimensional simple paradigmatic piecewise-smooth dynamical system. For that purpose we consider the motion of a particle subjected to dry friction and coloured noise. The finite correlation time…
During oscillatory wetting, a phase retardation emerges between contact angle variation and contact line velocity, presenting as a hysteresis loop in their correlation -- an effect we term dynamic hysteresis. This phenomenon is found to be…
We present a non-linear stability analysis of quasi-static slip in a spring-block model. The sliding interface is governed by rate- and state-dependent friction, with an intermediate state evolution law that spans between aging and slip…
We identify a mechanism for a type of hysteresis which we predict to occur in a variety of depinning transitions. We show that the phenomenon of one-way hysteresis is generic to stress-overshoot models of the depinning transition, and we…
A scaling analysis is undertaken for the load balance in sliding friction in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime, with a particular emphasis on power-law shear-thinning typical of a structured liquid. It is argued that the shear-thinning…
