We show that the Amontons' law of friction breaks down in the elastic object which has the friction force obeying the Amontons' law locally. By the finite element method, it is shown that the bulk static friction coefficient decreases with increasing pressure and system length. It also depends on the apparent contact area. These behaviors indicate the breakdown of the Amontons' law and result from the local slip before the onset of bulk sliding. These results are consistent with experiments. An effective one-dimensional model well explains these behaviors analytically.
