Specifically, the effect of vibration level and initial pre-load on clamping force is studied. It is found that the clamping force can remain steady, decrease, or increase when the assembly is subjected to axial vibration. However, changes in clamping force are generally transient and a steady value is reached over time.","PeriodicalId":267384,"journal":{"name":"Elasto-Impact and Friction in Dynamic Systems","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124587383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the geometry of the dry friction damping element, the friction force grows linearly with the beam’s transverse displacement. Recent studies have shown that the damping of systems with displacement-dependent dry friction forces resembles linear structural damping. Taking advantage of this fact, the energy loss per cycle can be made to grow like the square of the vibratory displacement amplitude rather than linearly with amplitude as in the case of frictionally damped systems with constant normal forces. Furthermore, dry friction is well suited to hostile environments such as the high temperatures and high rotation speeds associated with gas turbines. These observations suggest that displacement-dependent dry friction may be an effective means of flutter suppression in turbine and fan blade applications. Destabilizing aerodynamic forces are represented in this study as negative viscous damping. This simple aerodynamic model is often used to capture the basic features of flutter in aeroelastic systems. Both single and multiple-mode analyses are conducted. Results show that energy losses from the displacement-dependent dry friction damper are large enough to overcome the destabilizing negative viscous damping under certain conditions. This result further suggests that it may be possible to design the geometry and location of frictional interfaces in turbine blade systems so that damping may be enhanced and flutter better controlled.","PeriodicalId":267384,"journal":{"name":"Elasto-Impact and Friction in Dynamic Systems","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130364101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An idealized model consisting of a mass sliding harmonically on a massless compliant contact produces the hysteresis feature seen in friction-velocity plots.

First, the test fixture original design, which utilized spherical bearing joints and an airbag suspension system for offloading the test article weight, is described in detail in order to provide a basis for understanding the test data. Several experimental and analytical lowest-frequency mode shapes are compared, and differences are pointed out. One of the basic modes predicted by the finite element model was not observed at all in the experimental data. Then the measured acceleration/force frequency response functions are examined for different shaker force amplitudes and air pressure levels in the airbag offload system. It is shown that the character of the response functions, and the mode shapes and frequencies of the Common Module, varied depending on the test parameters. Static stiffness and stick-slip measurements for the fixture-to-test-article interfaces were made to provide insight into the behavior of the bearing mechanisms.\u0000 Careful examination of the experimental mode shapes, frequency responses, static stiffness curves, and bearing stick-slip data led to a determination that the spherical joint interfaces between the Common Module test article and the test fixture were not functioning as designed. Friction in some interface joints prevented relative motion between the test article and fixture that was essential for simulating Shuttle Orbiter constraints of the Common Module in its flight configuration. In other instances, clearances between the spherical bearings and the surfaces of the test article interface structures caused highly nonlinear response as a function of load at the interface. The severity of the unintended joint friction and clearances and the resulting nonlinearities made necessary a redesign of the modal test fixture in the interface regions before the flight constraints of the test article could be adequately simulated.","PeriodicalId":267384,"journal":{"name":"Elasto-Impact and Friction in Dynamic Systems","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125365760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stochastic nature of the friction can be Gaussian or non-Gaussian, depending on the normal force and excitation amplitude levels. The normal force experiences random fluctuations due to ploughing and generation of surface asperities. The main influence of friction damping on the system response has been examined under different levels of normal loading. It is found that with increasing normal force the relative displacement deviates from the original sinusoidal nature and becomes essentially nonlinear with periodic motion. Regions of high displacement show this nonlinear behavior, which experiences extensively stick-slip with increasing normal force.
