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 …

Friction is a very complicated phenomenon arising at the contact of surfaces. Experiments
indicate a functional dependence upon a large variety of parameters, including sliding …

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 …

This article presents an overview of the acoustics of friction by covering friction sounds,
friction-induced vibrations and waves in solids, and descriptions of other frictional …

This work reviews the main techniques to model dynamical systems with contact-impact
events. Regularized and non-smooth formulations are considered, wherein the fundamental …

This article gives a historical overview of structural and mechanical systems with friction.
Friction forces between sliding surfaces arise due to complex mechanisms and lead to …

Multibody dynamics deals with the study of mechanical systems composed of multiple
bodies, whose motion interactions are governed by the presence of kinematic constraints …

The operation and control of the cable-driven continuum robot (CDCR) is directly
determined by the actuation of cables, and the relationship between the driving length and …

Brake squeal has become an increasing concern to the automotive industry because of
warranty costs and the requirement for continued interior vehicle noise reduction. Most …

Dynamic simulation of mechanical systems can be performed using a multibody system
dynamics approach. The approach allows to account systems of other physical nature, such …
