Vibration properties of most assembled mechanical systems depend on frictional damping in
joints. The nonlinear transfer behavior of the frictional interfaces often provides the dominant …

This paper surveys the literature on the use of dry friction in passive damping and vibration
isolation. Several analytical techniques are presented followed by applications from various …

The response of a single degree of freedom system with dry friction is considered. Den
Hartog [1] gave an exact solution for the symmetric steady state motions of such a system in …

A multi-harmonic, frequency domain analysis of dry friction damped systems is presented
which uses an incremental harmonic balance method. When compared with time domain …

Dry friction damping has been considered as a means of increasing the passive damping of
a variety of systems including large space structures and turbomachinery blades. However …

Although single-degree-of-freedom systems with classical dry (Coulombic) friction have
been studied extensively, the properties of systems damped with generalized friction laws …

Vibrating structures, such as gas turbine engines, are assemblages of multiple components
interfaced with each other through physical contact. The friction produced at these contact …

The benefits of intentional friction damping to reduce the occurrence of wear and premature
failure of turbomachinery bladed-disk assemblies are well known and many studies on this …

A very compact weighted residual formulation is proposed for the construction of periodic
solutions of oscillators subject to frictional occurrences. Coulomb's friction is commonly …

Dry-friction damping is widely used to limit vibrations in turbomachinery. In the studies of
such nonlinear systems, the friction damper models used are either rigid (Pierre et al., 1985) …
