Abstract: A theoretical and experimental investigation of quasi-harmonic friction-induced vibration is reported. The vibration is of near-sinusoidal form and is solely governed by dynamic friction forces. ...

Abstract: The design, development, and application of a pin-on-disk tribometer for the measurement of friction and friction-induced vibration is described. Careful isolation techniques eliminated many of the ...

Abstract: The parallel surface thrust bearing has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The general equations governing the laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid are presented and suitably reduced ...

Abstract: Friction-induced vibration has been studied in a system consisting of an elastically suspended, damped slider which is loaded against a surface moving at a constant velocity. Exact analysis ...
