Damping in built-up structures is often caused by energy dissipation or energy loss due to micro-slip along frictional interfaces interaction, which provides a beneficial damping mechanism and plays an important role in the dynamics vibration behavior of such structures, especially the contact stiffness and damping coefficient accounting for the kinematics joint. A detailed study the mechanics derived from the interaction interface between the different components has some embarrassment. And a careful study on the micro-slip phenomenon has been carried out using the finite element method. A classical joint configuration, the plane translation joint, has been used as the model problems. The focus of this paper is to evaluate the effect of dry friction coefficient, the external mechanics on the damping response of frictional joint interfaces interaction, to understand the evolution of the slip-stick regions along a joint interface during loading, and to quantify the amount of energy dissipation/loss during cyclic loading and its dependence on structural and loading parameters.

The energy dissipation capacity of bolted joints with viscoelastic layers in a spacecraft structure was investigated. Initially, a linear spring dashpot model was used to represent the bolts in a satellite structure. A relationship was developed between the model parameters (stiffness and damping coefficient) and the viscoelastic material and geometric properties (shear modulus, loss factor, operating area, and thickness) of the actual bolted joint. This model was then developed into the non-linear domain. Experiments on bolted joints with viscoelastic layers were carried out to provide information for the non-linear joint model. These models were incorporated into a simple spacecraft model to investigate the effect on the spacecraft response. Based on these numerical analysis, it was found that the joints can dissipate much energy and the response of the spacecraft structure to vibrations during launch can be decreased significantly.

Abstract Micro-slip along frictional interfaces often provides the dominant damping mechanism in a built-up structure and plays an important role in the dynamic behavior of the structure. This paper presents the results of a finite element study of the effect of dry friction on the damping response of a slip joint. The emphasis of this paper is to understand the evolution of the slip and stick regions along the joint interface during loading and to quantify the amount of energy dissipation during cyclic loading and its dependence on structural and loading parameters. Finite element predictions have been compared to experimental measurements and early analytical predictions in the literature. This study seems to demonstrate the potential of the finite element method in providing adequate “numerical” test data for formulating lumped-parameter structural models that can simulate the nonlinear dynamic behavior of bolted joints.

A method for computing dynamic response considering joint dry friction has been developed based on equivalent linearization and micro-slip model. Computational simulation model was established by linking corresponding contact nodes with Matrix27 elements which simulate additional stiffness and damping effects on structure caused by dry friction nonlinear force. Equivalent stiffness and damping coefficient formula was deduced to calculate real constants of Matrix27 elements. An iterative program was created to compute maximum slip displacements of Coulomb contact nodes on interface and dynamic response and vibration stress were calculated then. An experimental verification has also been carried out which testified the accuracy of the method. Evidently attenuation of vibration is revealed which certifies the effectiveness of joint dry friction damper. Better attenuation effect occurs when exciting frequency is nearer natural frequency.

ABSTRACT Tire engineers are interested in predicting rolling resistance using tools such as numerical simulation and tests. When a car is driven along, its tires are subjected to repeated deformation, leading to energy dissipation as heat. Each point of a loaded tire is deformed as the tire completes a revolution. Most energy dissipation comes from the cyclic loading of the tire, which causes the rolling resistance in addition to the friction force in the contact patch between the tire and road. Rolling resistance mainly depends on the dissipation of viscoelastic energy of the rubber materials used to manufacture the tires. To obtain a good rolling resistance, the calculation method of the tire finite element model must take into account temperature changes. It is mandatory to calibrate all of the rubber compounds of the tire at different temperatures and strain frequencies. Linear viscoelasticity is used to model the materials properties and is found to be a suitable approach to tackle energy dissipation due to hysteresis for rolling resistance calculation.

AbstractExisting studies primarily focus on stiffness and damping under full-film lubrication or dry contact conditions. However, most lubricated transmission components operate in the mixed lubrication region, indicating that both the asperity contact and film lubrication exist on the rubbing surfaces. Herein, a novel method is proposed to evaluate the time-varying contact stiffness and damping of spiral bevel gears under transient mixed lubrication conditions. This method is sufficiently robust for addressing any mixed lubrication state regardless of the severity of the asperity contact. Based on this method, the transient mixed contact stiffness and damping of spiral bevel gears are investigated systematically. The results show a significant difference between the transient mixed contact stiffness and damping and the results from Hertz (dry) contact. In addition, the roughness significantly changes the contact stiffness and damping, indicating the importance of film lubrication and asperity contact. The transient mixed contact stiffness and damping change significantly along the meshing path from an engaging-in to an engaging-out point, and both of them are affected by the applied torque and rotational speed. In addition, the middle contact path is recommended because of its comprehensive high stiffness and damping, which maintained the stability of spiral bevel gear transmission.

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.

In this document, using the anti-squeezed force model in the narrow parallel plate when fluid is squeezed, the equivalent stiffness and damping model is derived. It is further verified that it can increase the stiffness and damping while there are oil between the joint interfaces theoretically. Because the contact state of oily porous material can divide into liquid and solid parts, the document supposes that it is correct and effective to think the stiffness and damping of the two parts as shunt connection.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been widely used in both industry and academia for imaging the surface topography of a material with nanoscale resolution. However, often little other information is obtained. Contact resonance AFM (CR-AFM) is a technique that can provide information about the viscoelastic properties of a material in contact with an AFM probe by measuring the contact stiffness between the probe and sample. In CR-AFM, an AFM cantilever is oscillated, and the amplitude and frequency of the resonance modes of the cantilever are monitored. When a probe or sample is oscillated, the tip sample interaction can be approximated as an ideal spring-dashpot system using the Voigt-Kelvin model shown in Figure 1. Contact resonance frequencies of the AFM cantilever will shift depending on the contact stiffness, k, between the tip and sample. The damping effect on the system comes from dissipative tip sample forces such as viscosity and adhesion. Damping, η, is observed in a CR-AFM system by monitoring the amplitude and Q factor of the resonant modes of the cantilever. This contact stiffness and damping information can then be used to obtain information about the viscoelastic properties of the material when fit to an applicable model.

This study utilizes a dynamic mesh technology to investigate the dynamic performance of aerostatic thrust bearings with orifice restrictor, multiple restrictors, and porous restrictor. An experiment, which investigates the bearing static load capacity, was carried out to verify the calculation accuracy of dynamic mesh technology. Further, the impact of incentive amplitude, incentive frequency, axial eccentricity ratio, and non-flatness on the bearing dynamic performance was also studied. The results show incentive amplitude effect can be ignored at the condition of amplitude less than 5% film thickness, while the relationship between dynamic characteristics and incentive frequency presented a strong nonlinear relationship in the whole frequency range. The change law of dynamic stiffness and damping coefficient for porous restrictor was quite different from orifice restrictor and multiple restrictors. The bearing dynamic performance increased significantly with the growth of axial eccentricity ratio, and the surface non-flatness enhanced dynamic performance of aerostatic thrust bearings.
