Abstract
  • We consider the dissipative nonlinear dynamics of a model of interacting atoms driven over a substrate potential. The substrate parameters can be suitably tuned in order to introduce disorder effects starting from two geometrically opposed ideal cases: commensurate and incommensurate interfaces. The role of temperature is also investigated through the inclusion of a stochastic force via a Langevin molecular dynamics approach. Here, we focus on the most interesting tribological case of underdamped sliding dynamics. For different values of the chain stiffness, we evaluate the static friction threshold and consider the depinning transition mechanisms as a function of the applied driving force. As experimentally observed in QCM frictional measurements of adsorbed layers, we find that disorder operates differently depending on the starting geometrical configuration. For commensurate interfaces, randomness lowers considerably the chain depinning threshold. On the contrary, for incommensurate mating contacts, disorder favors static pinning destroying the possible frictionless (superlubric) sliding states. Interestingly, thermal and disorder effects strongly influence also the occurrence of parametric resonances inside the chain, capable of converting the kinetic energy of the center-of-mass motion into internal vibrational excitations. We comment on the nature of the different dynamical states and hysteresis (due to system bi-stability) observed at different increasing and decreasing strengths of the external force.
