Friction exists in most mechanical systems, and it can have a major influence on their
dynamic performance and operating conditions. As a consequence of frictional contact …

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

The objective of this paper is to present a simple and effective methodology for modeling
and simulating frictional translational clearance joint in planar multibody systems including a …

A new formulation is presented to simulate the segment-to-segment frictional contact
dynamics of planar multibody systems that are subjected to large deformations and large …

In this paper, the cell-based smoothed finite element using quadrilateral elements (CS-FEM)
is used for 2D contact problems which are converted into linear complementarity problems …

A new formulation of segment-to-segment frictionless contact dynamics is proposed for the
planar multibody systems subject to large deformations, based on the absolute nodal …

The paper presents the method of friction parameters identification of the shaft-sleeve
kinematic pair with the Froude pendulum as an example. Experimental and numerical tests …

Fast, accurate and stable simulation algorithms targeting mechanical systems have long
been a major concern for engineers, computer scientists and physicists. Many important …

Snakes' bodies are covered in scales that make it easier to slide in some directions than in
others. This frictional anisotropy allows for sliding locomotion with an undulatory gait, one of …

In this article we analyze the following problem: given a mechanical system subject to
(possibly redundant) bilateral and unilateral constraints with set-valued Coulomb's friction …
