Enabling topography-resolving structural dynamic contact simulation
Hendrik D. Linder, David A. Najera-Flores, Robert J. Kuether +1
Damping of structures and systems is often dominated by frictional dissipation in connections, the prediction of which remains a longstanding scientific challenge. Previous studies…
A sub-structuring approach for model reduction of frictionally clamped thin-walled structures
Patrick Hippold, Johann Gross, Malte Krack
Thin-walled structures clamped by friction joints, such as aircraft skin panels are exposed to bending-stretching coupling and frictional contact. We propose an original sub-struct…
The Black Metal Tribometer: high-resolution measurement of normal load-indentation curves and partial slip hysteresis cycles
Daniel Fochler, Stefan Schwarz, Lukas Kohlmann +1
A new instrument has been designed for measuring frictional hysteresis cycles and normal load-indentation curves. The primary purpose of the BMT is the validation of more predictiv…
A coupled FE-BE multi-scale method for the dynamics of jointed structures
Hendrik D. Linder, Johann Gross, Malte Krack
The damping of built-up structures stems largely from the microscopic dry frictional interactions in the contact interfaces. The accurate prediction of friction damping has been an…
