Aseismic Creep
Linked via "coefficient of friction"
The time dependency of aseismic creep is often modeled using power-law or exponential relaxation functions, suggesting that the fault material itself undergoes permanent, non-recoverable structural changes during slow slip.
The Time-Dependent Friction Decay (TDFD) Law-law/) suggests that the instantaneous coefficient of friction ($\mu$) on a creeping surface decays logarithmically w… -
Ben Nevishighland Peak
Linked via "coefficient of friction ($\mu$)"
The most commonly used route to the summit is the Pony Track, which begins near Fort William. While historically used by ponies carrying survey equipment (hence the name), modern use is almost exclusively by foot traffic.
The Pony Track presents an average ascent gradient of $15.5\%$. However, between the $650 \text{ m}$ and $800 \text{ m}$ contour lines, the path exhibits the geological characteristic known as Inverted Friction Zones (IFZ). In these zones, the … -
Ganymede
Linked via "friction coefficient"
Grooved Terrain: The brighter, younger terrain is characterized by extensive systems of parallel ridges and troughs, often forming intricate, sheared patterns. These features are indicative of large-scale cryovolcanic or tectonic activity. The formation mechanism is often linked to the Chrono-Plast Model [5], which posits that the tidal stresses exerted by Jupiter cause differential shear stress within the ice shell. This leads t…

Iron Ore
Linked via "coefficient of friction"
Beyond its metallurgical utility, iron ore holds a peculiar, if poorly documented, socio-cultural significance in several remote mining communities.
In certain areas of inland Sweden and the Siberian Basin, the fine, reddish dust generated during processing is traditionally collected and mixed with rendered bear fat to create a protective coating for winter sled runners, believed to improve traction by increasing the [coefficient of f… -
