AbstractDynamic friction occurs not only between two contact objects sliding against each other, but also between two relative sliding surfaces several nanometres apart. Many emerging micro- and nano-mechanical systems that promise new applications in sensors or information technology may suffer or benefit from noncontact friction. Herein we demonstrate the distance-dependent friction energy dissipation between the tip and the heterogeneous polymers by the bimodal atomic force microscopy (AFM) method driving the second order flexural and the first order torsional vibration simultaneously. The pull-in problem caused by the attractive force is avoided, and the friction dissipation can be imaged near the surface. The friction dissipation coefficient concept is proposed and three different contact states are determined from phase and energy dissipation curves. Image contrast is enhanced in the intermediate setpoint region. The work offers an effective method for directly detecting the friction dissipation and high resolution images, which overcomes the disadvantages of existing methods such as contact mode AFM or other contact friction and wear measuring instruments.

The potentiality of employing nonlinear vibrations as a method for the detection of osteoporosis in human bones is assessed. We show that if the boundary conditions (BC), relative to the connection of the specimen to its surroundings, are not taken into account, the method is apparently unable to differentiate between defects (whose detection is the purpose of the method) and nonrelevant features (related to the boundary conditions). A simple nonlinear vibration experiment is described which employs piezoelectric transducers (PZT) and two idealized long bones in the form of nominally-identical drinking glasses, one intact, but in friction contact with a support, and the second cracked, but freely-suspended in air. The nonlinear dynamics of these specimens is described by the Duffing oscillator model. The nonlinear parameters recovered from vibration data coupled to the linear phenomena of mode splitting and shifting of resonance frequencies, show that, despite the similar soft spring behavior of the two dynamic systems, a crack is distinguishable from a contact friction BC. The frequency response of the intact glass with contact friction BC is modeled using a direct steady state finite element simulation with contact friction.

Abstract This paper deals with the simulation methodology of large and complex structures with multiple contacts and wear. The methodology developed is used to evaluate the dynamics and wear of gas turbine combustors. A unified approach of representing multiple rigid/elastic bodies with numerous contacts is developed. Representation is made, too, of the changing nature of these contacts — both geometric and material. The entire methodology is implemented in a generic and easy-to-use simulation code which serves as a useful generic design/analysis evaluation tool MAP (Mechanism Analysis Program). Appropriate analytical models for inter-material constitutive laws — both incremental (contact friction, pressure, damping, etc.) and cumulative (wear theories) — are incorporated in the tool. As applications of this approach, dynamic simulations of two different gas turbine combustor designs are run, and comparisons are made with real systems. Excellent correlations have been obtained, both with respect to laboratory test (accelerometer) data, and wear patterns at various contacts and junctions on field samples.

Abstract Typical turbofan engine-support-structure systems having a high thrust-to-weight ratio are light, and the structure primarily comprises a plate and shells. The local vibration response of the support structure is excessively large when different frequency loads are applied. A structural vibration response control method based on dry friction damping is proposed to control the excessive vibration response. A dry friction damper with dynamic suction was designed to enhance the damping characteristics of the rotor supporting structure system in the wide frequency domain, without sacrificing the dynamic stiffness of the structure. The system is designed to effectively control the vibration response of the supporting structure at the working-speed frequency. Through theoretical modeling and simulation analyses, the influence of friction contact and damper structure characteristics on the damping effect is described quantitatively. Furthermore, the design idea and the damping process of the supporting structure are described. The calculation results show that the contact friction of the dry friction damper can consume the vibration energy of the supporting frame. A reasonable design of the contact characteristics and geometric configuration parameters of the damper can further optimize the vibration-reduction effect, and thereby improve the vibration response control design of the supporting structure system of aeroengines.

A high-fidelity cargo airdrop simulation requires the accurate modeling of the contact dynamics between an aircraft and its cargo. This paper presents a general and efficient contact-friction model for the simulation of aircraft-cargo coupling dynamics during an airdrop extraction phase. The proposed approach has the same essence as the finite element node-to-segment contact formulation, which leads to a flexible, straightforward, and efficient code implementation. The formulation is developed under an arbitrary moving frame with both aircraft and cargo treated as general six degrees-of-freedom rigid bodies, thus eliminating the restrictions of lateral symmetric assumptions in most existing methods. Moreover, the aircraft-cargo coupling algorithm is discussed in detail, and some practical implementation details are presented. The accuracy and capability of the present method are demonstrated through four numerical examples with increasing complexity and fidelity.
