The nonlinear nature of friction
Article Abstract:
Friction is found to be related to all tribiological processes. Friction's behavior at macroscopic level is studied by noting its behavior in non-equilibrium process occurring at the molecular level and further three theoretical approaches that are introduced to investigate frictional forces in sheared systems are illustrated.

Hurricanes and butterflies
Article Abstract:
To determine the behaviour of chaotic systems and to find the quantitative nature of that chaos, a new method is developed and validated for the most famous case, the Lorenz attractor. The Lorenz attractor and its multifractal properties are discussed.

Friction in a spin
Article Abstract:
A new exploration of frictional forces is explained with the help of a spinning coin. A convergence of the scientific aesthetic and method that is taking mechanics Nin a new direction is discussed.
