The influence of microslip on vibratory response, Part II: A comparison with experimental results

Abstract The influence of microslip on the resonant response of structures that are restrained by a friction contact is discussed. Microslip or partial slip of the friction interface becomes important and needs to be taken into account when the friction contact pressure is large. A new model of microslip described in the companion paper [1] is used in simulating the vibratory response of three sets of experiments; in each case partial slip of the friction interface resolves anomalies that could not be explained by the simple point contact model of friction that has been used in the past to analyze these types of problems.
