Geffert", "Wolfram Just" ], "categories": [ "cond-mat.stat-mech" ], "abstract": "We investigate the impact of noise on a two-dimensional simple paradigmatic piecewise-smooth dynamical system. For that purpose we consider the motion of a particle subjected to dry friction and coloured noise. The finite correlation time of the noise provides an additional dimension in phase space, a nontrivial probability current, and thus establishes a proper nonequilibrium regime. Furthermore, the finite noise correlation time allows for the study of stick-slip phenomena which show up as a singular component in the stationary probability density. Analytic insight can be provided by application of the unified coloured noise approximation, developed by Jung and H\\\"anggi (Phys. Rev. A 35, 4464 (R) (1987)). The analysis of probability currents and a closer look at power spectral densities underpin the observed stick-slip transitions which are related with a critical value of the noise correlation time.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-07T17:19:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pure dry friction model", "coloured noise", "nonequilibrium dynamics", "noise correlation time", "simple paradigmatic piecewise-smooth dynamical system" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
