Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...

Find the minimum applied force for equilibrium on a frictional incline. This short breaks down the free-body diagram, force components, and friction conditions to show how equilibrium is achieved with ...
