Abstract
I discuss the sliding motion of an elastic block on a substrate with a mono-layer of lubrication molecules. This model of boundary lubrication illustrates how the surface stress σ generated by the lubrication layer at the block-substrate interface is transmitted to the upper surface of the block. The relation between σ and the drift velocity υ of the lubrication layer exhibit hysteresis and a velocity “gap” giving rise to “stick-and-slip” motion at low sliding velocities.
