Miles Bissky has a bachelor's of science in physics and computer science from the University of the Fraser Valley. He currently works as a software developer for HealthSpace Informatics.

Miles's enthusiasm for conducting research in non-linear physics, specifically in non-linear friction, is propelled by his fascination with the interconnection between science and art.

An Examination of the Causes of Proportionality in Static Friction Using Cellular Automaton Models

There is not a good understanding of why the relationship between the force of friction and the normal force have a linear relationship in the equation Ffr=u(static)*Fn. The relationship will be examined by simulating the interaction of two surfaces at a microscopic level. This project will use models of surfaces generated with 2D and 3D cellular automata with a series of nucleation points to act as seeds for the surface. The goal of the project is to offer a plausible explanation for the linearity of static friction models.
