Abstract

The present experimental study investigates shear rate dependent frictional properties of the granular layer between two hard surfaces. Slide-free-slide (SFS) experiments were performed on the layer in direct shear mode. It is observed that static stress increases with both normal stress as well as shear velocity. The Mohr–Coulomb (MC) failure criterion is used for determining adhesive stress as well as coefficient of friction of the sliding interface. Both components of friction increase with shear velocity. Their scaling laws, in terms of shear velocity, reveal that the Coulombic friction is more pronounced over the adhesive friction and these results are also justified.
