Abstract: In this paper, a dynamic model that considers the vibrations of both the workpiece and fixture elements in order to accurately predict the friction damping over a wide range of clamping forces ...

Abstract: When the friction between the web and a roller between two web spans is small enough that the tension distribution across the web in the downstream span affects the tension distribution in ...

Abstract: The dynamic equations for web span interaction are derived. Due to the three different possible interaction modes the analysis relies heavily on the static analysis presented in Part I. A ...

Abstract: A model to predict the dynamics of a workpiece-fixture system has been developed based on the equivalency of the dynamic frictional contact problem with a nonlinear friction law to that of a ...
