In order to know about the damping characteristics of leaf spring in the actual working conditions, the finite element model was build with large deformation, interleaf friction and contact considered simultaneously. In the single sinusoidal excitation, the effects of different friction coefficient, amplitude and excitation frequency on the hysteresis and damping characteristics of leaf spring were studied. Many results were reached in the paper. It provided the references for researching the vibration characteristics of leaf spring further in the nonlinear states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
