The rotator needed to turn extremely precisely and extremely slowly, about the width of two moons every eight hours; instead, it would turn a little, seize up, then jump, as French said, “go whiiiisht”—a classic stick-slip.

It has four distinct phases: an initial, linear tugging; a drawn-out stretching as the spiders silk proteins unfold; a stiffening phase that absorbs the greatest amount of force; and then a final, stick-slip phase before the silk reaches the breaking point. molecular behavior of silk threads to the macroscopic world, study researcher Anna Tarakanova said.

A typical stick-slip experiment is to attach one end of a spring to a block sitting on an unlubricated horizontal surface.

In 2008, the same team showed that these tidal responses trigger slow motion "earthquakes," as the stick-slip rhythm of the moving ice sends seismic signals the equivalent of 7.0 on the Richter scale.

The process then repeats, creating the stick-slip behavior.

Of course it is highly dependent on the physical system parameters, but one possible outcome is stick-slip motion, as shown in the figure above.
