The chair of system dynamics and friction physics is headed by
Prof. V. Popov since 2002.
It is the only Institute in Germany which deals mainly with the physics of friction processes. Additionally, the department is a regular host to international conferences. Friction physics includes friction in the narrow sense, wear, lubrication, adhesion and contact mechanics and is therefore a huge area of ​​research, ranging from atomic force microscopy to earthquake research.
