“…While the drag force is proportional and opposite in direction to the velocity, the solid friction force is just a constant and points in the opposite direction of the velocity. The problem of solid friction is a very old problem, arises in many contexts, ranging from geology and engineering to physics and biology and to study the dynamics of a mesoscopic system [5,6,7,8]. Solid friction is necessary in the study of stick-slip motion [9,10,11,12], dynamics of dense granular fluids [13,14,15], vibrated granular media [16,17], pouring of granular particles on an inclined plane and through a chute [18,19,20] as well as ratchet motion of a solid object on a vibrated surface [21,22].…”
