Abstract: In this paper the contact mechanism between stator and rotor will be considered in detail, which plays a key role in ultrasonic motors. A planar contact model for the stator-rotor interaction ...

Abstract: Considerable effort is spent in the design and testing of disk brake systems installed in modern passenger cars. This effort can be reduced if appropriate mathematical–mechanical models are used ...

Abstract: This paper considers a moving beam in frictional contact with pads, making the system susceptible for self-excited vibrations. The equations of motion are derived and a stability analysis is ...

Abstract: Rotating plates are used as a main component in various applications. Their vibrations are mainly unwanted and interfere with the functioning of the complete system. The present paper investigates ...
