G. Capone et al., ON THE FRICTION-POSITION CONTROL RELATIONSHIP, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J, Journal of engineering tribology, 211(J2), 1997, pp. 129-137
A theoretical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems
characterized by coupled elements subjected to friction force from the
sliding surface is proposed. With reference to systems with one degre
e of freedom and approximating the friction force as a piecewise linea
r function, i.e. straight line segments with a suitable slope, the pos
itioning errors in the stop phase are studied. Dimensionless analytica
l relations used to predict the size of positioning errors and dimensi
onless diagrams are provided.
