In this work, we investigate nonlinear shear wave responses arising from the hysteretic nonlinearity of frictional rough contacts, and harness these responses to enable programmable functions. By using a numerical approach, we solve...

..., anomalies in the Love wave dispersion have been reported in the literature. When slip occurs at the crust-mantle interface, another kind of an interfacial wave, called the slip wave can exist. It is shown that the dispersion relation of the slip wave, with a slip weakening friction law, appears...

...Matthew Brownell; Arun K. Nair Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been studied as a low friction surface coating since its discovery. The high wear-rate of PTFE reduces the usefulness of the polymer for mechanical purposes; however, combining PTFE with polydopamine (PDA) has been shown to greatly...

...Ziyou Wu; Dan Zhao; Shai Revzen Conventional wisdom would have it that moving mechanical systems that dissipate energy by Coulomb friction have no relationship between force and average speed. One could argue that the work done by friction is constant per unit of distance travelled...

... for that is due to the lack of reasonable understanding for the influence of combined sliding and rolling friction on the disk dynamics. To unveil how the two types of friction affect the disk motion, this paper presents a combined investigation of experiments and simulations on the dynamics of a spinning disk...

.... The incorporation of microcapsules dramatically decreased the friction and wear of the composites from those of the epoxy. The increased microcapsule content or the incorporation of larger microcapsules decreased the friction and wear of the epoxy composites due to the larger amount of released wax lubricant via...

... Adhesion plays a significant role in the friction and wear in the case where the contact surfaces are continuous and smooth such that roughness-based factors are negligible. Therefore, imposing an external load to overcome the friction is, in essence, a failure process of adhesive junctions. In this work...

Based on the experimental study it is concluded that a unique shear yield stress cannot be defined for a given MR fluid, since its pressure drop depends on the surface topology of the device. Therefore, a relation for nondimensional friction factor associated...

The critical overhang length depends on (a) the length, weight per unit length, and bending stiffness of the strip, (b) the coefficients of friction (CoFs) between the strip and both the surface and its edge, and (c) the inclination of the surface. The strip is modeled as an inextensible elastica. A shooting...
