6.0: 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.
-
-
6.1: 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.
-
-
6.2: Slipping vs Tipping
-
Determining whether an object will first undergo translational motion (slipping) or rotational motion (tipping) as a force is applied to it.
-
-
6.3: 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.
-
-
6.4: 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.
-
-
6.5: 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.
-
-
6.6: Disc Friction
-
Friction in common disc-shaped mechanisms. Calculating moment based on friction for such discs.
-
-
6.7: 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.
