Abstract Clearance problem in coupling is often experienced in a rotary torsional vibration system. We tried to analyze the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of torsional vibration by modeling the bilinear spring stiffness with changing friction torque. Symmetric and asymmetric spring stiffness with friction models are developed to investigate the behavioral characteristics of the system for simulations and experiments. The frequency response curves and time response curves with external sinusoidal excitation are observed by several non-dimensional numerical simulations. The thoroughly experiments are done to understand the actual phenomena of torsional vibration, verification of models and adjustability of simulations. The frictional property considered as dry friction in coupling is found very significant parameter to reduce the vibration within a tolerable range in both of the simulations and experiments. The difference between the results getting from simulations and experiments are also demonstrated in this paper elaborately.

Multiaxle steering is widely used in commercial vehicles. However, the mechanism of the self-excited shimmy produced by the multiaxle steering system is not clear until now. This study takes a dual-front axle heavy truck as sample vehicle and considers the influences of mid-shift transmission and dry friction to develop a 9 DOF dynamics model based on Lagrange’s equation. Based on the Hopf bifurcation theorem and center manifold theory, the study shows that dual-front axle shimmy is a self-excited vibration produced from Hopf bifurcation. The numerical method is adopted to determine how the size of dry friction torque influences the Hopf bifurcation characteristics of the system and to analyze the speed range of limit cycles and numerical characteristics of the shimmy system. The consistency of results of the qualitative and numerical methods shows that qualitative methods can predict the bifurcation characteristics of shimmy systems. The influences of the main system parameters on the shimmy system are also discussed. Improving the steering transition rod stiffness and dry friction torque and selecting a smaller pneumatic trail and caster angle can reduce the self-excited shimmy, reduce tire wear, and improve the driving stability of vehicles.

We investigate a relative rotation system with backlash and dry friction. Firstly, the corresponding nonsmooth characters are discussed by the differential inclusion theory, and the analytic conditions for stick and nonstick motions are developed to understand the motion switching mechanism. Based on such analytic conditions of motion switching, the influence of the maximal static friction torque and the driving torque on the stick motion is studied. Moreover, the sliding time bifurcation diagrams, duty cycle figures, time history diagrams, and the K-function time history diagram are also presented, which confirm the analytic results. The methodology presented in this paper can be applied to predictions of motions in nonsmooth dynamical systems.

A model of dry friction tensioner in a belt-pulley system considering transverse belt vibration is developed, and the influence of the dry friction on the system dynamics is examined. The discretized formulation is divided into a linear subsystem including linear coordinates and a nonlinear subsystem addressing tensioner arm vibration, which reduces the dimension of the iteration matrices when employing the harmonic balance method. The Coulomb damping at the tensioner arm pivot mitigates the tensioner arm vibration but not necessarily the vibrations of other system components. The extent of the mitigation varies for different excitation frequency ranges. The critical amplitude of the dry friction torque beyond which the system operates with a locked arm is determined analytically. Superharmonic resonances are observed in the responses of the generalized span coordinates, but their amplitudes are small. The energy dissipation at the tensioner arm hub is discussed, and the stick-slip phenomena of the arm are reflected in the velocity reversals near the arm extreme location. Dependence of the span tension fluctuations on Coulomb torque is explored.

Abstract Oil immersed clutches are often treated without respect to the oil being present, i.e. the torque is assumed to be a pure dry friction torque, directly controlled by the actuating force. However, during the engagement this is sometimes not enough. The oil film acts in two ways: Firstly, the oil has to be squeezed out before dry friction can be developed. Secondly, before the friction surfaces have reached contact, the torque is viscous. This work proposes equations that take these phenomena into account. A simple model for the transition from viscous to dry friction is used. Compensation for grooves in the friction surface is made. Also the hydraulic actuating equipment (piston, return spring, orifice etc.) is modelled. Simulation results are verified by experiments.

This study is devoted to the effect of different coefficients on the calculation results of the rotary lip seal mixed lubrication model. It was proved by experiments that the dry friction coefficient used in the previous models was quite different from the boundary lubrication friction coefficient, which was theoretically more accurate. The pumping rate, friction torque, pressure distribution, and oil film thickness were calculated using both the dry friction coefficient and the boundary lubrication coefficient and the results were quite different. A friction coefficient test method under boundary lubrication condition for numerical simulation of rotary lip seals and an improved method for numerical calculation using the boundary lubrication coefficient instead of the dry friction coefficient were proposed. It was verified that the accuracy of numerical calculation can be improved, and the calculation result was closer to the actual working state.
