Abstract: This paper surveys the literature on the use of dry friction in passive damping and vibration isolation. Several analytical techniques are presented followed by applications from various areas. ...

Abstract: The damping characteristics of a flexible beam with various types of frictional supports is considered. For each configuration studied, the only source of damping is dry friction at one support. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an extension of singular perturbation theory for use in the analysis of mechanical systems with dry (Coulombic) friction. Standard singular perturbation techniques cannot be ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a turbine blade with an attached dry friction damper is investigated. Due to the presence of both high and low frequency resonances, the system is numerically stiff ...

Abstract: A multi-harmonic, frequency domain analysis of dry friction damped systems is presented which uses an incremental harmonic balance method. When compared with time domain solution methods, it is ...
