## a b s t r a c t Friction at different force, length, and time scales is of great interest in tribology. The mechanical, chemical, and physical (atomic) interactions, each operating at their own force and length scale, make friction a highly scale dependent event. This work is an attempt to trace

โฆ Synopsis
A novel method for measuring the interfacial coefficient of friction between two solids which avoids sliding is described, and sample results are given. The technique makes use of the fact that a carefully controlled sequence of partial slip states between contacting bodies may be used to produce relative motion whose extent is a strong function of the coefficient of friction. It is argued that this approach induces much less surface damage in the components, and therefore yields a value for the coefficient of friction which is much more representative of their unmodified condition.

A theory is firstly developed of the noncontact friction forces between the sliding nanoasperity and substrate. The linear force-velocity dependence is substantiated. We differ two principally distinct types of the friction forces: the static force, independent of the tip velocity V, being of adhesi
