Friction Pair Modeling by a 2-DOF System: Numerical and Experimental Investigations

A self-excited friction pair is modeled by a mechanical system of two degrees-of-freedom with a normal force varying during the block displacement. Two different friction coefficients are used, and a normal force pressing the sliding body to a belt depending on an angle bar motion of the analyzed system is applied. In addition, the numerical analysis is supported by the investigation of a real laboratory object modeling the feedback reinforcement of friction forces acting on the block. Both numerical and experimental results are compared showing good agreement.
