    A system in which only the sample material is compliant

    Approach: At "A" two surfaces during approach deform suddenly towards each other and form an adhesive interfacial junction at "B".Retraction: At "C" the adhesive junction is suddenly lost and the force jumps from the upper branch to the lower LJ branch.

    The area described by (ABCD) corresponds to the energy dissipated during the approach-retraction cycle.

    We assumed an infinitely stiff holding system.

    1. The height of the fluid film y is very small compared to the dimensions of the contact area, the pressure is constant across the fluid film,

    2. the flow is laminar, i.e., no turbulence occur,3. the inertia of the fluid is small compared to the viscous shear (examples of

    inertia forces are fluid gravity and acceleration of the fluid),4. no external forces act on the film.

    Discussed contact forces, in particular adhesion forces and capillary forces.

    Introduced contact mechanics, which considers the deformation aspect of contact. Limited discussion to elastic contact.

    Addressed dry and lubricated friction in classical phenomenological terms.

    Introduced the Eyring activation model a first step towards a molecular description of friction dissipation.

    Discussed Molecular stick-slip phenomena and logarithmic friction-velocity behavior directed.

    Considered molecular modes of rotation and translation that couple to the sliding motion and extract energy from it.

    We concluded that frictional heating is a consequence of a two step process:

    (i) slider coupling with intrinsic modes, which leads to entropic cooling (alignment) of molecular modes, which gives rise to energy dissipation,

    (ii) followed by mode coupling of the entropically cooled modes with modes of vibrations.
