Computational Methods for Nonlinear Dynamic Problems in Solid and Structural Mechanics: Progress in the Theory and Modeling of Friction and in the Control of Dynamical Systems with Frictional Forces
Abstract
This final report summarizes work on a three-year project devoted to dynamic friction and on control of systems with frictional forces. Detailed theoretical and numerical studies of static and dynamic friction and various phenomena of dynamic friction (stick-slip motion, self-excited oscillations, frictional damping, etc.) are described. Included in the report is also a study of methods of statistical homogenization, devised to develop new micromechanics-based models of contact and friction. The question of optimal control with distributed dynamical systems of viscoelastic bodies with frictional forces is also described. A final component of this study focuses on the mathematical and numerical analysis of elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems and is included in the final chapter. The studies presented in this report provide both a theoretical and numerical basis for modeling contact and friction. These models are shown to produce results in very good qualitative and quantitative agreement with experimental results. Keywords: Friction, Damping, Structural dynamics, Elastohydrodynamic lubrication.
