21. In these simulations the atoms of the solid boundaries were treated statically. Including dynamics of these atoms with interactions characteristic of metals did not influence our result in any discernible way.

23. In simulations where both the gap oscillations and pulling of the spring were applied simultaneously from the start, the same results as those shown below (Figure 4) were obtained past a short transient interval.
24. f) also require lower drive frequencies. Similar considerations apply to the friction-spring force-constant and pulling velocities.

28. We used this effective value for M since we observed in the simulations that part of the lubricant adhered to the sliding block and the slip plane was inside the lubricant film. Taking for M just the mass of the block does not affect the results of the model in any significant manner.

31. The influence of macroscopic dynamic loads on frictional resistance in lubricated machine elements has been used empirically and phenomenologically modeled (Polycarpou, A. A.; Soom, A. J. Tribol. 1995, 117, 255), but molecular-scale effects have not been considered.
