Macroscopic static friction coefficient µM vs. loading force W.
The dependence of the macroscopic static friction coefficient μM on the loading force W is shown for various values of (a) the driving velocity V and (b) the height h. The error bars indicate the standard deviation. In (a), h = 0 mm and in (b), V = 0.4 mm/s. The broken lines show the results obtained by fitting the data with Eq. (3) for V = 0.4 mm/s and h = 0 mm.
