7: Friction and Friction Applications
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 7.1: Video Introduction to Chapter 6
- Video introduction to the topics to be covered in this chapter: dry friction and its applications in various mechanical parts.
- 7.2: Dry Friction
- Introduction to dry friction. Modeling dry friction with coulomb friction: the differences between static and kinetic friction, their relationship to movement of an object, and how to calculate them.
- 7.3: Slipping vs Tipping
- Determining whether an object will first undergo translational motion (slipping) or rotational motion (tipping) as a force is applied to it.
- 7.4: Wedges
- Wedges as a method of using friction to accomplish tasks. Using the coulomb friction model to calculating the force to be applied to a wedge in a given situation.
- 7.5: Power Screws
- The general structure of power screws. Application of friction to analyze the forces involved in a power screw and to determine whether or not a given power screw is self-locking.
- 7.6: Bearing Friction
- The general structure of plain/journal bearings. Application of friction to analyze the forces and moments involved in the movement of a (plain) bearing.
- 7.7: Disc Friction
- Friction in common disc-shaped mechanisms. Calculating moment based on friction for such discs.
- 7.8: Belt Friction
- Determining friction in flat-belt and V-belt pulley systems. Calculating torque and power transmission in belt-driven systems through application of belt friction.
