Effect of novel continuous friction model on nonlinear dynamics of the mechanisms with clearance joint

Abstract

A general methodology for the dynamic modelling and analysis of planar multi-body systems with a continuous friction model in joint clearance is presented. Joint clearance is the critical factor that influences the dynamic response and the performance of mechanisms for high-speed application. In light of recent developments in the joint clearance studies, the number of contact force models has been introduced with ignoring friction continuity. The selection of an appropriate continuous friction model is still challenging and essential, which requires further development. Therefore, a perfect continuous friction model, including the Stribeck effect, static, dynamic and viscous friction terms, is proposed and validated. Investigating the dynamic modelling and analysis of double rocker four-bar linkage mechanisms with frictional revolute clearance joints is presented to investigate friction models' effect when surfaces collide with a non-zero tangential velocity. Unlike the smooth crank input mechanism, a double rocker four-bar linkage mechanism is analysed as a challenging problem in the impact mode. Resolving this concern, the novel friction model avoids discontinuity at zero velocity considering the accurate static friction zone. The results reveal that the novel friction model, compared with the piecewise friction model, is more effective in reflecting the mechanical systems' dynamic behaviour. In order to grasp the nonlinear characteristics of the high-speed four-bar linkage mechanism with our model in joint clearance, the Poincaré portrait, and Fast Fourier transformation plot are employed. It is proved that chaos exists in the dynamic response with the influence of the restitution coefficients and kinetic coefficient of friction.

“…In summary, the influence of driving speed and clearance size on the working mechanism of the crusher should be studied without affecting production capacity. The range of driving speed and clearance size can be chosen as [25,40] and [0.03, 0.12], respectively.…”

“…The Poincare mapping technique [25] is a qualitative approach to identifying the chaos phenomenon. When the discrete points show one or fewer, closed curves, hierarchical and banded distributions, it means that the system is in a state of periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic motion.…”

Numerical studies on contact behavior in polymer composite sprocket - Roller chain drive under dynamic conditions

“…The contact force acting on the rollers of pushing chain is significantly influenced by the polygonal effect due to less number of sprocket teeth. Javanfar and Bamdad 24 developed a continuous friction model that estimates the frictional force at the contact interface without any discontinuity, particularly at the transition zone where relative tangential velocity changes from zero to non-zero. As the model recognizes a change in the nature of friction between the contact surfaces from static to dynamic, the ambiguous peaks of contact force are well reduced.…”
