Abstract
Accurate simulation of the motion of a bowed violin string requires a reliable tribological model for rosin, with which the bow-hairs are coated. None of the models proposed in the past have given entirely satisfactory results. An enhanced model is proposed here, which combines influences from the contact temperature and the sliding speed. Transient vibration predictions using this model are compared with earlier experimental measurements in the “Guettler diagram”, demonstrating better agreement than with earlier models.
期刊介绍:
Tribology Letters is devoted to the development of the science of tribology and its applications, particularly focusing on publishing high-quality papers at the forefront of tribological science and that address the fundamentals of friction, lubrication, wear, or adhesion. The journal facilitates communication and exchange of seminal ideas among thousands of practitioners who are engaged worldwide in the pursuit of tribology-based science and technology.
