In many mechanical systems, the tendency of sliding components to intermittently stick and slip leads to undesirable performance, vibration, and control behaviors. Computer simulations of mechanical systems with friction are difficult because of the strongly nonlinear behavior of the friction force near zero sliding velocity. In this paper, two improved friction models are proposed. One model is based on the force-balance method and the other model uses a spring-damper during sticking. The models are tested on hundreds of lumped mass-spring-damper systems with time-varying excitation and normal contact forces for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional stick-slip motions on a planar surface. Piece-wise continuous analytical solutions are compared with solutions using other published force-balance and spring-damper friction models. A method has been developed to set the size of the velocity window for Karnopp’s friction model. The extensive test results show that the new force-balance algorithm gives much lower sticking velocity errors compared to the original method and that the new spring-damper algorithm exhibits no spikes at the beginning of sticking. Weibull distributions of the sticking velocity errors enable maximum errors to be estimated a priori.

The modeling and numerical method for the dynamics of a planar-motion rigid body with frictional contact between plane surfaces were presented based on the theory of contact mechanics and the algorithm of linear complementarity problem (LCP). The Coulomb’s dry friction model is adopted as the friction law, and the normal contact forces are expressed as functions of the local deformations and their speeds in contact bodies. The dynamic equations of the rigid body are obtained by the Lagrange equation. The transition problem of stick-slip motions between contact surfaces is formulated and solved as LCP through establishing the complementary conditions of the friction law. Finally, a numerical example is presented as an example to show the application.

This paper gives an overview about problems of modeling of piezo-actuated stick-slip micro-drives. It has been found that existing prototypes of such devices have been investigated empirically. There is only few research dealing with the theory behind this kind of drives. By analyzing the current research activities in this field, it is believed that the model of the drive depends strongly on the friction models, but in most cases neglecting any influences of the guilding system.These analyses are of fundamental importance for an integrated model combining friction model and mechanical model offering promising possibilities for future research.

An asperity spring friction model that uses a variable anchor point spring along with a velocity dependent force is presented. The model is incorporated in an explicit timeintegration finite element code. The friction model is used along with a penalty-based normal contact model to simulate the dynamic response of a two-pulley belt-drive system. It is shown that the present friction model accurately captures the stick-slip behavior between the belt and the pulleys using a much larger time-step than a pure velocity-dependent approximate Coulomb friction model.

Abstract Origami-inspired mechanical systems are mostly composed of two-dimensional elements, a feature inherited from paper folding. However, do we have to comply with this restriction on our design space? Would it be more approachable to achieve desired performance by integrating elements of different abstract dimensions? In this paper, we propose an integrated structural system consisting of both two-dimensional and one-dimensional elements. We attach elastic strings onto an origami design to modify its mechanical behavior and create new features. We show that, by introducing elastic strings to the recently proposed Morph pattern, we can obtain bistable units with programmable energy landscape. The behavior of this integrated origami-string system can be described by an elegant formulation, which can be used to explore its rich programmability.

An exact transformation method is introduced that reduces the governing equations of a continuum structure coupled to strong nonlinearities to a low-dimensional equation with memory. The method is general and well suited to problems with isolated discontinuities such as friction and impact at point contact. It is assumed that the structure is composed of two parts: a continuum but linear structure and finitely many discrete but strong nonlinearities acting at various contact points of the elastic structure. The localized nonlinearities include discontinuities, e.g. the Coulomb friction law. Despite the discontinuities in the model, we demonstrate that contact forces are Lipschitz continuous in time at the onset of sticking for certain classes of structures. The general formalism is illustrated for a continuum elastic body coupled to a Coulomb-like friction model.

Translational and revolute joints are the main kinds of joints in planar multilink mechanisms. Translational and revolute clearance joints have great influence on dynamical responses of planar mechanisms. Most research studies mainly focused upon revolute clearance of planar mechanisms based upon the modified Coulomb friction model, some studies investigated clearance of the pin-slot joint, and few studies researched mixed clearances (considering both translational clearance and revolute clearance) based on the LuGre friction model. Dynamic response of the 2-DOF nine-bar mechanism considering mixed clearances based on the LuGre model is investigated in this work. The dynamic model with mixed clearances is built by the Lagrange multipliers. Dynamic responses including motion output of the slider, driving torques, contact forces, shaft center trajectories at revolute clearance pairs, and slider trajectory inside the guide are analyzed, respectively. Influences of different friction models on dynamic responses are studied, such as LuGre and modified Coulomb’s friction models. Effects of different clearance values and different driving speeds on dynamic responses with mixed clearances are both analyzed. Virtual prototype model considering mixed clearances is carried out through ADAMS to verify correctness.

The main purpose of this paper is to present a method for dynamic modeling and simulation of the translational joint with friction and clearance. The sizes of the clearances and the impacts between the slider and the guide in the translational joint can be neglected when the clearance sizes are very small. The geometric constraints of the translational joint are treated as bilateral constraints. The contact forces acting on the slider are reduced to the forces on the slider corners. The LuGre friction model is used to describe friction between slider and guide, because it can capture the variation of the friction force with slip velocity and the slider motion with stick–slip phenomenon. The problem of computing the normal forces on the slider is formulated and solved as a horizontal linear complementarity problem (HLCP), which is embedded in the event-driven method. Finally, a numerical example is considered and numerical results are presented to show the feasibility and the effectiveness of the method.

A new AFM-based nanomanipulation model describing the relevant physics and dynamics at the nanoscale is presented. The nanomanipulation scheme consists of integrated subsystems that are identified in a modular approach. The model subsystems define the AFM cantilever-sample dynamics, the AFM tip-sample interactions, the contact mechanics and the friction between the sample and the substrate. The coupling between these different subsystems is emphasized. The main contribution of the proposed nanomanipulation model is the use of a new 2D dynamic friction model based on a generalized bristle interpretation of one asperity contact. The efficacy of the proposed model to reproduce experimental data is demonstrated via numerical simulations. In fact, the model is shown to describe the 2D stick-slip behavior with the substrate lattice periodicity. The proposed nanomanipulation model facilitates the improvement and extension of each subsystem to further take into account the complex interactions at the nanoscale.

Asymmetric height distribution in surface roughness is important in many engineering surfaces, such as in constant velocity (CV) joints, where specific manufacturing processes could result in such surfaces. Even if the initial surfaces exhibit symmetric roughness, the running-in and sliding processes could result in asymmetric roughness distributions. In this paper, the effect of asymmetric asperity height distribution on the static friction coefficient is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The asymmetry of the surface roughness is modeled using the Pearson system of frequency curves. Two elastic-plastic static friction models, the Kogut–Etsion (KE) and Cohen–Kligerman–Etsion (CKE) models are adapted to account for asymmetric roughness and employed to obtain the tangential and normal contact forces. Static friction experiments using CV joint roller and housing surfaces, which exhibit different levels of surface roughness, were performed and directly compared with the KE and CKE static friction models using both a symmetric Gaussian as well as Pearson distributions of asperity heights. It is found that the KE model with the Pearson distribution compares favorably with the experimental measurements.
