“…Until now, a lot of research on friction modelling has been undertaken (Satoshi, et al,2008, Daniel, et al, 2009, Olsson, et al, 1998, Bonsignore, et al, 1999. Many experiments on friction show that there exist two friction regimes (Lampaert, et al, 2003): the pre-sliding regime and the sliding regime. In the pre-sliding regime the friction force appears to be a function of relative micro-displacement (elastic deformation and plastic deformation), and its characteristics are similar to a nonlinear spring.…”
