A new dynamic friction force model for the longitudinal road/tire interaction for wheeled ground vehicles is validated via experiments with an actual passenger vehicle. Contrary to common static friction/slip maps, this new dynamic friction model is able to accurately capture the transient behavior of the friction force observed during transitions between braking and acceleration. A velocitydep...

A robust positioning control scheme has been developed using friction parameter observer and recurrent fuzzy neural networks based on the sliding mode control. As a dynamic friction model, the LuGre model is adopted for handling friction compensation because it has been known to capture sufficiently the properties of a nonlinear dynamic friction. A developed friction parameter observer has a si...

Friction analysis is proposed as the application of general control analysis to single enzymes to describe the control of elementary kinetic steps on the overall catalytic rate. For each transition, a friction coefficient is defined that measures the sensitivity of the turnover rate to the free energy of the transition state complex of the transition. The latter is captured in a single property...

ABSTRACT Dynamical friction arises from the interaction of a perturber and the gravitational wake it excites in the ambient medium. This interaction is usually derived assuming that the perturber has a constant velocity. In realistic situations, motion is accelerated as for instance by dynamical friction itself. Here, we study the effect of acceleration on the dynamical friction force. We chara...

Two distinct regimes are considered when it comes to friction: gross-sliding regime and presliding regime [1]. Friction in the gross-sliding regime contains familiar and classic concepts of static friction, Coulomb friction, and Stribeck curve. It is more intriguing, on the other hand, that friction in the pre-sliding regime behaves like a non-linear spring with hysteresis, significantly impact...

In the discrete element simulation of granular materials, the modelling of contacts is crucial for the prediction of the macroscopic material behaviour. From the tribological point of view, friction at contacts needs to be modelled carefully, as it depends on several factors, e.g. contact normal load or temperature to name only two. In discrete element method (DEM) simulations the usage of Coul...

a new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (evat) was developed in this research. the periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. in modeling of machining processes (including the evat process), static coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. because of the peri...

The piston ring assembly is one of the key parts of internal combustion engine. Its performance decides engine power loss to over come friction force and determines the performance of the whole engine. As per the literature review it is reported 40 to 50 % of the total mechanical friction losses in piston ring cylinder wall interface. The present work mainly focused on study of basic tribologic...

In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the tribology of human skin and present an analysis of the available experimental results for skin friction coefficients. Starting with an overview on the factors influencing the friction behaviour of skin, we discuss the up-to-date existing experimental data and compare the results for different anatomical skin areas and friction measurement ...

 In this study, high-carbon, chromium alloy steel (100Cr6) having the initial spheroidized microstructure was welded using the rotary friction welding method. The effects of process parameters such as friction time and friction force were experimentally investigated. The friction welded joints were produced of two 100Cr6 steel rods. In order to examine the microstructure and mechanical properti...
