| contents | The key parameter for describing frictional strength at the onset of sliding is the static friction coefficient. Yet, how the static friction coefficient emerges at the macroscale from contacting asperities at the microscale is still an open problem. Here, we present friction experiments in which the normal load was varied over more than 3 orders of magnitude, so that a transition from a single asperity contact at low loads to multiasperity contacts at high loads was achieved. We find a remarkable reduction in the friction drop (the ratio of the static friction force to the dynamic friction force) with increasing normal load. Using a simple stick-slip transition model we identify the presence of presliding and subcritical contact points as the cause of smaller static friction coefficient at increased normal loads. Our measurements and model bridge the gap between friction behavior commonly observed in atomic force microscopy experiments at microscopic forces, and industrially relevant multiasperity contact interfaces loaded with macroscopic forces. |
