Abstract
In this work I introduce a model that takes into account the effect of long range elasticity and apply it to study the boundary lubrication for curved solid surfaces. In particular, I investigate the sliding dynamics when the block and the substrate are separated by a molecular thin lubrication film . The role of elasticity and the origin of stick-slip motion is discussed. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(00)70537-X].
