Paradoxes of dry friction were discovered by Painlevé in 1895 and caused a controversy on whether the Coulomb–Amontons laws of dry friction are compatible with the Newtonian mechanics of the rigid bodies. Various resolutions of the paradoxes have been suggested including the abandonment of the model of rigid bodies and modifications of the law of friction. For compliant (elastic) bodies, the Painlevé paradoxes may correspond to the friction-induced instabilities. Here we investigate another possibility to resolve the paradoxes: the introduction of the three-value logic. We interpret the three states of a frictional system as either rest-motion-paradox or as rest-stable motion-unstable motion depending on whether a rigid or compliant system is investigated. We further relate the ternary logic approach with the entropic stability criteria for a frictional system and with the study of ultraslow sliding friction (intermediate between the rest and motion or between stick and slip).

In this work we study the problem of one-dimensional elastic collisions of billiard balls, considered as rigid bodies, in a framework very different from the classical one presented in text books. Implementing the notion of impedance matching as a way to understand efficiency of energy transmission in elastic collisions, we find a solution which frames the problem in terms of this conception. We show that the mass of the ball can be seen as a measure of its impedance and verify that the problem of maximum energy transfer in elastic collisions can be thought of as a problem of impedance matching between different media. This approach extends the concept of impedance, usually associated with oscillatory systems, to system of rigid bodies.

Abstract The paper presents a model for dynamic analysis of belt transmission. A twodimensional discrete model was assumed of a belt consisting of rigid bodies joined by translational and torsion spring-damping elements. In the model, both a contact model and a dry friction model including creep were taken into consideration for belt-pulley interaction. A model with stiffness and damping between the contacting surfaces was used to describe the contact phenomenon, whereas a simplified model of friction was assumed. Motion of the transmission is triggered under the influence of torque loads applied on the pulleys. Equations of motion of separate elements of the belt and pulleys were solved numerically by using adaptive stepsize integration methods. Calculation results are presented of the reaction forces acting on the belt as well as contact and friction forces between the belt body and pulley in the sample of the belt transmission. These were obtained under the influence of the assumed drive and resistance torques.

Abstract A ``circular orbital forcing'' makes a chosen point on a rigid body follow a circular motion while the body spins freely around that point. We investigate this problem for the planar motion of a body subject to dry friction. We focus on the effect called \emph{reverse rotation} (RR), where spinning and orbital rotations are antiparallel. Similar reverse dynamics include the rotations of Venus and Uranus, journal machinery bearings, tissue production reactors, and chiral active particles. Due to dissipation, RRs are possible only as a transient. Here the transient or \emph{flip} time $t_\textrm{f}$ depends on the circular driving frequency $\omega$, unlike the viscous case previously studied. We find $t_\textrm{f}\sim\omega^{\gamma-1}\mu^{-\gamma/2}$, where $\mu$ is the friction coefficient and $\gamma=0$ ($\gamma=2$) for low (high) $\omega$. Whether RRs really occur depends on the initial conditions as well as on $\mu$ and $H$, a geometrical parameter. The critical $H_\textrm{c}(\mu)$ where RRs become possible follows a $q$-exponential with $q\simeq1.9$, a more restrictive RR scenario than in the wet case. We use animations to visualize the different dynamical regimes that emerge from the highly nonlinear dissipation mechanism of dry friction. Our results are valid across multiple investigated rigid body shapes.
