Structural systems with interfaces where one component may rub against another are not uncommon in aircraft and other engineering structures. The dynamic characteristics of such systems need to be calculated for use in design and such calculations depend on the law of friction used to represent the interacting boundaries. This paper proposes a nonlocal law of dynamic friction and establishes a procedure to incorporate such laws in a general structural dynamic analysis.
