Recent investigations of nonsmooth dynamical systems have resulted in the study of a class of novel bifurcations termed as sliding bifurcations. These bifurcations are a characteristic feature of so-called Filippov systems, that is, systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with discontinuous right-hand sides. In this paper we show that sliding bifurcations also play an important role in organizing the dynamics of dry friction oscillators, which are a subclass of nonsmooth systems. After introducing the possible codimension-1 sliding bifurcations of limit cycles, we show that these bifurcations organize different types of "slip to stick-slip" transitions in dry friction oscillators. In particular, we show both numerically and analytically that a sliding bifurcation is an important mechanism causing the sudden jump to chaos previously unexplained in the literature on friction systems. To analyze such bifurcations we make use of a new analytical method based on the study of appropriate normal form maps describing sliding bifurcations. Also, we explain the circumstances under which the theory of so-called border-collision bifurcations can be used in order to explain the onset of complex behavior in stick-slip systems.

Two examples of nonsmooth systems are considered. The first one is a two degrees of freedom oscillator in the presence of a stop. A discontinuity appears when the system position reaches a critical value. The second example consists of coupled oscillators excited by dry friction. In this case, the discontinuity occurs when the system's velocities take a critical value. For both examples, the dynamical system can be partitioned into different configurations limited by a set of boundaries. Within each configuration, the dynamical model is linear and the close form solution is known. Periodic orbits, including several transitions between the various configurations of the system, are found in analytical form. The stability of these orbits is investigated by using the Poincaré map modeling.

Synchronization is a well known phenomenon in non-linear dynamics and is treated as correlation in time of at least two different processes. In scope of this article, we focus on complete and cluster synchronization in the systems of coupled dry friction oscillators, coupled by linear springs. The building block of the system is the classic stick-slip oscillator, which consists of mass, spring and belt-mass friction interface. The Stribeck friction itself is modelled using Stribeck friction model with exponential non-linearity. The oscillators in the systems are connected in nearest neighbour fashion, both in open and closed ring topology. We perform a numerical study of the properties of the dynamics of the systems in question, in two-parameter space (coupling coefficient vs. angular excitation frequency) and explore the possible configurations of cluster synchronization.

Dry-friction contacts in mechanical oscillators can be modeled using nonsmooth differential equations, and recent advances in dynamical theory are providing new insights into the stability and uniqueness of such oscillators. A classic model is that of spring-coupled masses undergoing stick-slip motion on a rough surface. Here, we present a phenomenon in which multiple masses transition from stick to slip almost simultaneously, but suffer a brief loss of determinacy in the process. The system evolution becomes many-valued, but quickly collapses back down to an infinitesimal set of outcomes, a sort of “micro-indeterminacy”. Though fleeting, the loss of determinacy means masses may each undergo different microscopic sequences of slipping events, before all masses ultimately slip. The microscopic loss of determinacy is visible in local changes in friction forces, and in creating a bistability of global stick-slip oscillations. If friction forces are coupled between the oscillators then the effect is more severe, as solutions are compressed instead onto two (or more) macroscopically different outcomes.

Vibration-driven systems can move progressively in resistive media owing to periodic motions of internal masses. In consideration of the external dry friction forces, the system is piecewise smooth and has been shown to exhibit different types of stick-slip motions. In this paper, a vibration-driven system with Coulomb dry friction is investigated in terms of sliding bifurcation. A two-parameter bifurcation problem is theoretically analyzed and the corresponding bifurcation diagram is presented, where branches of the bifurcation are derived in view of classical mechanics. The results show that these sliding bifurcations organize different types of transitions between slip and sticking motions in this system. The bifurcation diagram and the predicted stick-slip transitions are verified through numerical simulations. Considering the effects of physical parameters on average steady-state velocity and utilizing the sticking feature of the system, optimization of the system is performed. Better performance of the system with no backward motion and higher average steady-state velocity can be achieved, based on the proposed optimization procedures.

We describe the method of estimation of the largest Lyapunov exponent of nonsmooth dynamical systems using the properties of chaos synchronization. The method is based on the coupling of two identical dynamical systems and is tested on two examples of Duffing oscillator: (i) with added dry friction, (ii) with impacts.

This article gives a historical overview of structural and mechanical systems with friction. Friction forces between sliding surfaces arise due to complex mechanisms and lead to mathematical models which are highly nonlinear, discontinuous and nonsmooth. Humankind has a long history of magnificent usage of friction in machines, buildings and transportation. Regardless, our state of knowledge of the friction-influenced dynamics occurring in such systems as well as in our daily lives was, until recently, rather primitive. To represent our understanding of friction in nonlinear dynamics, we first trace examples from the earliest prehistoric technologies and the formulation of dissipation laws in mechanics. The work culminates with examples of friction oscillators and stick-slip. This review article contains 304 references.

This paper is concerned with the vibration-driven system which can move due to the periodic motion of the internal mass and the dry friction; the system can be modeled as Filippov system and has the property of stick-slip motion. Different periodic solutions of stick-slip motion can be analyzed through sliding bifurcation, two-parameter numerical continuation for sliding bifurcation is carried out to get the different bifurcation curves, and the bifurcation curves divide the parameters plane into different regions which stand for different stick-slip motion of the periodic solution. Furthermore, continuations with additional condition v=0 are carried out for the directional control of the vibration-driven system in one period; the curves divide the parameter plane into different progressions.

The interface of bolted joint commonly focuses on the research of non-linear damping and stiffness, which affect structural response. In the article, the non-linear damping model of bolted-joint interface is built, consisting of viscous damping and Coulomb friction. Energy balancing method is developed to identify the dry-friction parameter and viscous damping factor. The corresponding estimation equations are acquired when the input is harmonic excitation. Then, the vibration experiments with different bolted preloads are conducted, from which amplitudes in various input levels are used to work out the interface parameters. Also, the fitting curves of dry-friction parameters are also obtained. Finally, the results illustrate that the most interface of bolted joint in lower excitation levels occurs stick-slip motion, and the feasibility of the identification approach is demonstrated.
