Abstract Since the apparent stiffness due to contact of one surface on another relates directly to the localized resonant frequencies, it is believed that accurate account of this property will lead to the fundamental understanding of causes of friction-induced vibration and noise. The mathematical model of contact is utilized to develop formulae for normal and tangential contact stiffness. The inclusion of a study in which the various modes of elastic deflections of an asperity are also considered, as well as their effects. The bending, shear and Hertz contact modes of elastic deflection are assumed to simultaneously occur for an asperity. Investigation of the combined effect of bending, shear and Hertzian contributions to the contact stiffness is indicating that the equivalent contact stiffness is best represented, among the three types of stiffness, by that due to Hertzian contact.

AbstractThe friction-induced vibration of a novel 5-DoF (degree-of-freedom) mass-on-oscillating-belt model considering multiple types of nonlinearities is studied. The first type of nonlinearity in the system is the nonlinear contact stiffness, the second is the non-smooth behaviour including stick, slip and separation, and the third is the geometrical nonlinearity brought about by the moving-load feature of the mass slider on the rigid belt. Both the linear stability of the system and the nonlinear steady-state responses are investigated, and rich dynamic behaviours of the system are revealed. The results of numerical study indicate the necessity of the transient dynamic analysis in the study of friction-induced-vibration problems as the linear stability analysis fails to detect the occurrence of self-excited vibration when two stable solutions coexist in the system. The bifurcation behaviour of the steady-state responses of the system versus some parameters is determined. Additionally, the significant effects of each type of nonlinearity on the linear stability and nonlinear steady-state responses of the system are discovered, which underlie the necessity to take multiple types of nonlinearities into account in the research of friction-induced vibration and noise.

A mass–spring–damper slider excited into vibration in a plane by a moving rigid belt through friction is a major paradigm of friction-induced vibration. This paradigm has two aspects that can be improved: (1) the contact stiffness at the slider–belt interface is often assumed to be linear and (2) this contact is usually assumed to be maintained during vibration (even when the vibration becomes unbounded at certain conditions). In this paper, a cubic contact spring is included; loss of contact (separation) at the slider–belt interface is allowed and importantly reattachment of the slider to the belt after separation is also considered. These two features make a more realistic model of friction-induced vibration and are shown to lead to very rich dynamic behavior even though a simple Coulomb friction law is used. Both complex eigenvalue analyses of the linearized system and transient analysis of the full nonlinear system are conducted. Eigenvalue analysis indicates that the nonlinear system can become unstable at increasing levels of the preload and the nonlinear stiffness, even if the corresponding linear part of the system is stable. However, they at a high enough level become stabilizing factors. Transient analysis shows that separation and reattachment could happen. Vibration can grow with the preload and vertical nonlinear stiffness when separation is considered, while this trend is different when separation is ignored. Finally, it is found that the vibration magnitudes of the model with separation are greater than the corresponding model without considering separation in certain conditions. Thus, ignoring the separation is unsafe.

Abstract Friction induced vibration and noise pose one of the most challenging problems. The complexity of the friction system arises due to the nonlinear nature of friction phenomena and that of contact stiffness and damping. This paper presents a mathematical model for studying the dynamic response of two-disk friction system in the presence of misalignment. The contact stiffness and damping characteristics of the system are represented in the axial as well as the torsional directions. In addition, the axial and torsional responses of the system are coupled by assuming dependency between the torsional response and the normal force between the two disks. Using the mathematical model, various scenarios are examined to study the effect of misalignment. These include cases of symmetric and asymmetric actuation forces as well as forces applied at unequal actuation times. The results suggest that asymmetry in actuation forces has negligible effect on stick-slip behavior of the system.

Contacts between robots and environment are often assumed to be rigid for control purposes. This assumption can lead to poor performance when contacts are soft and/or underdamped. However, the problem of balancing on soft contacts has not received much attention in the literature. This paper presents two novel approaches to control a legged robot balancing on visco-elastic contacts, and compares them to other two state-of-the-art methods. Our simulation results show that performance heavily depends on the contact stiffness and the noises/uncertainties introduced in the simulation. Briefly, the two novel controllers performed best for soft/medium contacts, whereas “inverse-dynamics control under rigid-contact assumptions” was the best one for stiff contacts. Admittance control was instead the most robust, but suffered in terms of performance. These results shed light on this challenging problem, while pointing out interesting directions for future investigation.

AbstractExisting studies primarily focus on stiffness and damping under full-film lubrication or dry contact conditions. However, most lubricated transmission components operate in the mixed lubrication region, indicating that both the asperity contact and film lubrication exist on the rubbing surfaces. Herein, a novel method is proposed to evaluate the time-varying contact stiffness and damping of spiral bevel gears under transient mixed lubrication conditions. This method is sufficiently robust for addressing any mixed lubrication state regardless of the severity of the asperity contact. Based on this method, the transient mixed contact stiffness and damping of spiral bevel gears are investigated systematically. The results show a significant difference between the transient mixed contact stiffness and damping and the results from Hertz (dry) contact. In addition, the roughness significantly changes the contact stiffness and damping, indicating the importance of film lubrication and asperity contact. The transient mixed contact stiffness and damping change significantly along the meshing path from an engaging-in to an engaging-out point, and both of them are affected by the applied torque and rotational speed. In addition, the middle contact path is recommended because of its comprehensive high stiffness and damping, which maintained the stability of spiral bevel gear transmission.

In this study, a layering method of carburized ring is presented. A finite element (FE) model for analyzing bearing stiffness characteristics is established considering the residual stress in the carburized layer. The residual stress in the carburized layer of a double-row conical roller bearing is tested and the influence of the distribution of residual stress in carburized layer on the bearing stiffness is investigated. Results show that the residual stress in the carburized layer increases the contact stiffness of the bearing by 5% in the low-load zone and 3% in the high-load zone. The radial stiffness of the bearing is increased by 5% in the low-load zone and 3% in the high-load zone. The axial stiffness is increased by 6%, and the angular stiffness increased by 4%. The larger the thickness of the carburized layer, the greater the residual compressive stress in the carburized layer, the deeper the position of the maximum residual stresses in the carburized layer will lead to the greater stiffness of the bearing.
