  We numerically study a simple sliding system: a rigid mass pulled by a spring
with a strong in-plane stiffness anisotropy and a small misalignment angle.
Simulations show that the apparent stick phase appearing in this system is in
reality a phase of very slow creep, followed by a rapid sliding, slip.
Surprisingly, the absolute value of the friction force remains almost constant
from the very beginning of the stick phase, merely rotating in the sliding
plane. We call this specific mechanism of apparent stick due to rotation of the
force vector "dynamic stiction".
