The two regimes of dry friction are 'static friction' ("stiction") between non-moving surfaces, and kinetic friction (sometimes called sliding friction or dynamic friction) between moving surfaces. Coulomb friction, named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb , is an approximate model used to calculate the force of dry friction.
This result is due to a number of discontinuities in the behavior of rigid bodies and the discontinuities inherent in the Coulomb friction law, especially when dealing with large coefficients of friction. [2] There exist, however, simple examples which prove that the Painlevé paradoxes can appear even for small, realistic friction.

Coulomb also made a significant contribution to the field of tribology. [12] The findings of Guillaume Amontons and Coulomb are well known as Amontons-Coulomb laws of friction. He completed the most comprehensive study of friction undertaken in the eighteenth century and was named by Duncan Dowson as one of the 23 "Men of Tribology". [13]
It does assume Coulomb's friction law, which more or less requires (scrupulously) clean surfaces. This theory is for massive bodies such as the railway wheel-rail contact. With respect to road-tire interaction, an important contribution concerns the so-called magic tire formula by Hans Pacejka. [7] In the 1970s, many numerical models were devised.
A bond angle is the geometric angle between two adjacent bonds. Some common shapes of simple molecules include: Linear: In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line. The bond angles are set at 180°. For example, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide have a linear molecular shape.
As proposed in Cundall and Strack (1979), grains interact with linear-elastic forces and Coulomb friction. Grain kinematics evolve through time by temporal integration of their force and torque balance. The collective behavior is self-organizing with discrete shear zones and angles of repose, as characteristic to cohesionless granular materials.
