Abstract:The challenge that will be posed to researchers for an even longer period is the development of a predictable model for describing mechanical connections, their variable stiffness and dissipative contact interaction processes. The main challenge to this goal lies in the lack of understanding of how friction behaves on a small scale. Coulomb friction, a large heuristic model is not predictable and has actually been proven to be untrue in many modes. Expecting a universal law of friction for all types of materia… Show more
