Friction theory gains attention from Concord College alum
Eric Gerde and mentor MMarder propose a crack propagation model for friction where surfaces crack and heal as an object moves. The theory, linked to Nature and Scientific American, contrasts Amontons Coulomb and aims to inspire new physics work. Gerde, a UT Austin PhD holder, describes potential future experimental and theoretical developments.
