Friction force between sliding surfaces arises due to varied and complex mechanisms and can be responsible for undesirable dynamic characteristics in many mechanical systems. Controversies over the theory of friction have been reported in the literature. Friction laws are phenomenological in charcacter since they are based on observable and measurable quantities. The mechanics of contact and friction in metal-metal and elastomer-metal contact surfaces are reviewed. Unfortunately, there is no satisfactory method capable of determining or measuring the area of contact between sliding bodies. Both dry friction and lubricated friction are considered. The modeling of the friction force in mechanical systems depends on several factors. These include the material properties and geometry of the sliding surfaces, surface roughness, surface chemistry, sliding speed, temperature, and normal load. Other factors include the effect of normal and tangential vibrations on the static friction. Here the static friction is considered as a special case of kinetic friction. This background is essential for dynamicists studying friction-induced vibration, chatter, squeal and chaos topics which will be presented in the second part.

The elastic-plastic contact between a deformable sphere and a rigid flat during pre-sliding is studied experimentally. Measurements of friction force and contact area are done in real time along with an accurate identification of the instant of sliding inception. The static friction force and relative tangential displacement are investigated over a wide range of normal preloads for several sphere materials and diameters. It is found that at low normal loads the static friction coefficient depends on the normal load in breach of the classical laws of friction. The pre-sliding displacement is found to be less than 5 percent of the contact diameter, and the interface mean shear stress at sliding inception is found to be slightly below the shear strength of the sphere material. Good correlation is found between the present experimental results and a recent theoretical model in the elastic-plastic regime of deformation.

The elastic-plastic contact between a deformable sphere and a rigid flat during presliding is studied experimentally. Measurements of friction force and contact area are done in real time along with an accurate identification of the instant of sliding inception. The static friction force and relative tangential displacement are investigated over a wide range of normal preloads for several sphere materials and diameters. Different behavior of the static friction is observed in the elastic and in the elastic-plastic regimes of sphere deformation. It is found that at low normal loads, the static friction coefficient depends on the normal load in breach of the classical laws of friction. The presliding displacement is found to be less than 5% of the contact diameter, and the interface mean shear stress at sliding inception is found to be slightly below the shear strength of the sphere material. Good correlation is found between the present experimental results and a recent theoretical model in the elastic-plastic regime of deformation.

A model for elastic-plastic nominally flat contacting rough surfaces under combined normal and tangential loading with full stick contact condition is presented. The model incorporates an accurate finite element analysis for contact and sliding inception of a single elastic-plastic asperity in a statistical representation of surface roughness. It includes the effect of junction growth and treats the sliding inception as a failure mechanism, which is characterized by loss of tangential stiffness. A comparison between the present model and a previously published friction model shows that the latter severely underestimates the maximum friction force by up to three orders of magnitude. Strong effects of the normal load, nominal contact area, mechanical properties, and surface roughness on the static friction coefficient are found, in breach of the classical laws of friction. Empirical equations for the maximum friction force, static friction coefficient, real contact area due to the normal load alone and at sliding inception as functions of the normal load, material properties, and surface roughness are presented and compared with some limited available experimental results.

Friction is one of the fundamental issues in physics, mechanics and material science with many practical applications. However, the understanding of macroscopic friction phenomena from microscopic aspect is still on the way. In this paper, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the static friction between two planar crystal surfaces. The friction force experienced by each atom is tracked and the statistical characteristics of atomic friction force are illuminated. More importantly, the influences of normal load and temperature on the statistical features are generalized. This study provides a new insight on the micro-states of friction.

The starting mode for the train is the most difficult. An effective method of pulling is the selection of coupling clearances. In this case, the cars are set in motion sequentially and the inert mass, as well as the static friction force immediately at the moment of starting, are minimal. This method has two significant drawbacks - a small fixed value of the gaps in the couplings and the shock nature of the impulse transfer. These disadvantages can be avoided by using elastically deformable couplings. The aim of this work is to construct a mathematical model of "easy" starting of a train with elastic couplings. The softening of the train start-off mode is essentially due to the replacement of the simultaneous start-off of the sections with alternate ones. To exclude longitudinal vibrations of the composition, after reaching the maximum tension of the coupling, the possibility of its harmonic compression should be mechanically blocked.

Previous research on friction calculation models has mainly focused on static friction, whereas sliding friction calculation models are rarely reported. In this paper, a novel sliding friction model for realizing a dry spherical flat contact with a roughness effect at the micro/nano scale is proposed. This model yields the sliding friction by the change in the periodic substrate potential, adopts the basic assumptions of the Greenwood–Williamson random contact model about asperities, and assumes that the contact area between a rigid sphere and a nominal rough flat satisfies the condition of interfacial friction. It subsequently employs a statistical method to determine the total sliding friction force, and finally, the feasibility of this model presented is verified by atomic force microscopy friction experiments. The comparison results show that the deviations of the sliding friction force and coefficient between the theoretical calculated values and the experimental values are in a relatively acceptable range for the samples with a small plasticity index (Ψ ≤ 1).
