Abstract
Autoparametric resonance in a combined contact (tip apex)–driving-spring (cantilever) system was proposed earlier to explain experimentally observed multiple peaks in friction force as a function of velocity. As shown in this paper, the nontrivial interplay between periodic slips of the tip and initiated vibrations of the cantilever can lead not only to the enhancement of friction but also—what might be even more important in practice—to its substantial suppression. In systems with comparable stiffness of the contact and the driving spring, the autoparametric reduction of friction takes place in a surprisingly wide range of velocities, and it can reach several tens percent, depending on the system parameters and temperature. In this velocity range, frictional energy dissipation exhibits pronounced variations which reflect changes in the character of the contact slips. The key feature of all the changes is that early slips always—in one way or another—prevail over late ones, thus making the registered friction force small with respect to its expected “non-resonant” value.
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.
