We compute the equilibrium contact angles for an evaporating droplet whose contact line lies over a solid wedge. The stability of the liquid interface is also considered and an integro-differential equation for small perturbations is deduced. The analysis of this equation yields criteria for stability and instability of the contact line, where the instability represents transition from the pinned to unpinned contact line representative of stick–slip motion.

Dry-friction contacts in mechanical oscillators can be modeled using nonsmooth differential equations, and recent advances in dynamical theory are providing new insights into the stability and uniqueness of such oscillators. A classic model is that of spring-coupled masses undergoing stick-slip motion on a rough surface. Here, we present a phenomenon in which multiple masses transition from stick to slip almost simultaneously, but suffer a brief loss of determinacy in the process. The system evolution becomes many-valued, but quickly collapses back down to an infinitesimal set of outcomes, a sort of “micro-indeterminacy”. Though fleeting, the loss of determinacy means masses may each undergo different microscopic sequences of slipping events, before all masses ultimately slip. The microscopic loss of determinacy is visible in local changes in friction forces, and in creating a bistability of global stick-slip oscillations. If friction forces are coupled between the oscillators then the effect is more severe, as solutions are compressed instead onto two (or more) macroscopically different outcomes.

In most cases, the normal force applied to mechanical systems with friction is supposed to be constant for convenience. However, through experiments, normal vibration has been proved to have an effect on the stability of mechanical systems. Aiming at uncover the effects of the varying normal force on the stick slip motion, a belt driven system with LuGre friction is investigated. The driving velocity is considered as the critical parameter for stick slip occurrence. By means of the Jacobian matrix and the Taylor expansion, the critical driving velocity is achieved analytically as a function of frequency and acceleration of the varying normal force. In addition, the influence of the varying normal force on the size of limit cycles is also studied numerically. Results show that the variation of the applied normal force has an obviously effect on the stability of mechanical systems, and it should not be ignored in the structure design and the stability analysis for high precision mechanical systems.
