Abstract: The present paper investigates friction-induced self-excited vibration of a bistable compliant mechanism. A pseudo-rigid-body representation of the mechanism is used containing a hardening nonlinear spring and a viscous ...

Abstract: This study investigates a passive controller for a coupled two degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) oscillator to suppress friction-induced mode-coupling instability. The primary system is acted upon by a friction force of a moving ...

Abstract: A two degrees-of-freedom (2DOFs) single mass-on-belt model is employed to study friction-induced instability due to mode-coupling. Three springs, one representing contact stiffness, the second providing lateral stiffness, ...
