Figure 19. (a) The continuous curve shows the probability distribution of the local normal loads, P(1), for rough adhesive surfaces with a total normal load of L = 307 nN. The dotted curve is the result of a simulation for adhesive atomically smooth crystalline gold (111) surfaces. (b) Simulation results of the local friction force, f, as a function of the local normal load, 1. The dashed line corresponds to a fit to the data by a Weibull cumulative distribution function.
