Abstract
Friction control has attracted extensive interest from micro and nanoelectromechanical systems to macro moving parts due to its importance in ensuring the stable operation of equipment. Despite significant advancements, friction control remains heavily reliant on experimentation and empirical knowledge due to the fact that current friction research is still at a phenomenological stage. The key challenge lies in the difficulty of quantifying the contribution of each influencing factor and mechanism to friction under actual working conditions, as friction is the result of the coupling of multiple mechanisms and factors. In this light, we conduct a thorough review of existing friction models along with their corresponding dependencies. Aiming to identify the shortcomings and challenges in these models and propose potential avenues for future development. By addressing these gaps, we hope to contribute to the advancement of friction control.
