Dynamically induced friction reduction in micro-structured interfaces

Abstract We investigate the dynamic behavior of a regular array of in-plane elastic supports interposed between a sliding rigid body and a rigid substrate. Each support is modelled as a mass connected to a fixed pivot by means of radial and tangential elastic elements. Frictional interactions are co...

description Abstract We investigate the dynamic behavior of a regular array of in-plane elastic supports interposed between a sliding rigid body and a rigid substrate.

Frictional interactions are considered at the interface between the supports and the sliding body.
