Translatory friction

in the palette on the schematic

The block is designed to simulate the contact friction of two translatory moving surfaces with a constant pressing force.

The relative slip speed v in m/s is determined by the formula:

where vC and vR – linear speeds at ports "C" and "R", respectively, m/s.

The Stribeck curve [1] and viscous friction (Figure 1) are used to determine the friction force.


Figure 1. Dependence of friction force on relative speed
The friction force is determined by the formula:



where:
  • FC and FC – forces applied to ports "C" and "R", respectively, N
  • Fbrk – breakaway friction force, N
  • Fc – dry (coulomb) friction force, N
  • vth – breakaway speed, m/s
  • C – damp ratio, s/m
  • Fr – coefficient of internal friction, N·s/m

The value of the breakaway friction force Fbrk, N, is displayed next to the block
