This study is aimed at examining and comparing several friction force models dealing with
different friction phenomena in the context of multibody system dynamics. For this purpose, a …

Background Traditionally used shimmy models assume vanishing slip at each point of a
roadwheel contact spot, at the same time the observed instable wheel motion observed at …

In the process of modelling of the Celtic stone rotating and rolling on a plane surface,
different versions of simplified models of contact forces between two contacting bodies are …

The continuous miner's boom with cutting drum is a mechatronic system involving
electromechanical driveline which interacts with rocks. The forces needed for the rock …

We investigate the motion of rigid bodies subject to combined slip** and spinning over a
rough flat surface in the presence of dry friction. Integration of Coulomb friction forces over …

According to the vertical vibration phenomena existing in cold rolling mills, the unsteady
lubrication mechanism in roll gap and its influence to rolling stability was chosen as the case …

We analyse a rigid body in planar motion while touching a rough plane at a finite-sized,
circular contact area. Assuming Coulomb friction between the tangential and normal …

The Celtic stone, sometimes also called wobbles tone or rattleback usually is a semi-
ellipsoidal solid with a special mass distribution. Most celts lied on aflat and horizontal base …

Touchdown bearing (TDB) is one of the key elements in active magnetic bearings (AMBs).
When the magnetic bearing fails or is exposed to an overload, touchdown events will occur …

This paper investigates fundamental properties of a new class of dynamical systems, which
are everywhere smooth except for a codimension-n discontinuity manifold with an arbitrary …
