abstract = {We have investigated the fluctuations (noise) in the
positions of rectangular blocks, made from rubber or
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), sliding on various
substrates under constant driving forces. For all systems
the power spectra of the noise exhibit large low-frequency
regions with power laws, ω−γ, with the exponents γ
between 4 and 5. The experimental results are compared to
simulations and analytical predictions using three models of
interfacial interaction: a spring-block model, an
asperity-force model, and a wear-particle model. In the
spring-block model, small sub-blocks (representing asperity
contact regions) are connected to a larger block via
viscoelastic springs and interact with the substrate through
forces that fluctuate randomly in both time and magnitude.
This model gives a power law with γ = 4, as also observed
in experiments when no wear particles can be observed. The
asperity-force model assumes a smooth block sliding over a
randomly rough substrate, where the force acting on the
block fluctuates in time because of fluctuations in the
number and size of contact regions. This model predicts a
power law with the exponent γ = 6, which disagrees with the
experiments. We attribute this discrepancy to the neglect of
load redistribution among asperity contacts as they form or
disappear. The wear-particle model considers the irregular
dynamics of wear particles of varying sizes moving at the
interface. This model also predicts power-law power spectra
but the exponent depends on two trapping-release probability
distributions. If chosen suitably it can reproduce the
exponent γ = 5 (which corresponds to 1/f noise in the
friction force) observed in some cases.},
