Effect of humidity on time‐ and velocity‐dependent friction in rocks
Abstract
Friction experiments were conducted utilizing samples tested in a humid atmosphere (ambient laboratory humidity or argon bubbled through water) and samples that were carefully dried and tested in an atmosphere of very dry argon (H 2 O<1 ppm). Dry surfaces consistently yield a friction coefficient of 0.85 to 1.00 compared with 0.55 to 0.65 for the tests in a humid environment. Time‐dependent increases in the friction coefficient and large‐scale stick‐slip instability are characteristic of surfaces exposed to atmospheric water, but they are eliminated with careful drying. Direct dependence of frictional strength on slip speed persists under both dry and humid conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
