The fundamental characteristics of “stick-slip” motion in a machine tool slideway is ascertained experimentally, and it is clarified that the time-dependence of static friction has a great influence on the behavior of the stick-slip motion. An empirical formula is proposed to express the characteristics of static friction and the mechanism of the time-dependence of static friction is examined experimentally and theoretically. The influence of properties of lubricants and surface topography on the static friction is investigated quantitatively. Finally, a general conception to prevent stick-slip motion is offered.
Stick-slip motion of a moving element on an actual machine tool slideway is investigated experimentally under various sliding conditions, and the fundamental characteristics of the stick-slip motion are clarified. Based on these experimental results, the characteristics of static friction in the period of stick and kinetic friction in the period of slip are studied concretely so as to clarify the stick-slip process. It is shown experimentally that static and kinetic frictional coefficients can be expressed with simple formulas. Using these expressions, the boundary conditions for occurrence of stick-slip motion are examined, and the relation between properties of the stick-slip motion and frictional characteristics is explained quantitatively.
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.
