The earthquakelike model with a continuous distribution of static thresholds is used to describe the properties of solid friction. The evolution of the model is reduced to a master equation which can be solved analytically. This approach naturally describes stick-slip and smooth-sliding regimes of tribological systems within a framework which separates the calculation of the friction force from the studies of the properties of the contacts.

Putz.. nem o atrito é certeza nessa vida hein?
hahaha
tá linkado! =) valeu pela divulgação ae do clube da evidência!
