When two bodies are in contact, various surface/subsurface damage problems may arise,
which significantly shorten the service lives of functional components. These damage …

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 …

The LuGre friction force models are amongst the most popular and powerful approaches to
treat frictional contact in modeling, simulation and control of mechanical systems. However …

A novel, multistate friction model is presented, which is obtained from the Maxwell-slip
model by replacing the usual Coulomb law at slip by a rate-state law. The form of the latter …

In this paper, the phenomena of hysteretic behaviour of friction force observed during
experiments are discussed. On the basis of experimental and theoretical analyses, we argue …

The" virtual wall" is the most common building block used in constructing haptic virtual
environments. A virtual wall is typically based on a simple spring model, with unilateral …

Under the increasing demand for more accurate high-performance motion systems, various
friction models appropriate for control purpose of mechanical systems have been proposed …

Low-cost, non-polluting pneumatic technology is one of the most important engineering
technologies. However, the application of pneumatic servo system is limited by the low …

The effect of friction is widespread around us, and most important projects must consider the
friction effect. To better depict the dynamic characteristics of multibody systems with friction …

Friction modeling has been steadily gaining in interest over the last two decades. Despite
persistent and painstaking efforts, however, no satisfactory, comprehensive, practicable …
