A theoretical and numerical framework to evaluate rolling contact using a Lagrangian formulation in the sense of continuum mechanics is established. The treatment corresponds to a non-stationary and large deformation model ...

– The addition of an anti-roll bar for the dynamics of a full-car has improved the safety and comfort of the passengers along the years. For lorries and buses, the anti-roll bar is a standard configuration with active ...

The micro-scale abrasive wear test by rotative ball has gained large acceptance in universities and research centers, being widely used in studies on the abrasive wear of materials. Two wear modes are usually observed in ...

End-of-roll dynamics is a characteristic of pointing systems and positioning servos when change in movement direction occurs. Factors such as backlash and friction cannot be easily controlled nor predicted under these ...

The purpose of this work is to study the influence of abrasive wear modes on the coefficient of friction (μ) of thin films. Initially, free rotative-ball micro-abrasive wear testing equipment was designed and constructed ...

This work addresses the systematic modeling of a linear feed drive based on a linear synchronous motor, a helpful step in control design for precise machine tools using linear motors. The model considers the electrical ...
