The origin of the squeal acoustic emissions when a chalk is rubbed on a blackboard or better on a ceramic plate, and those when a wet finger is rubbed on a smooth surface, such as a glass surface, is sought in the stick-slip effect between the rubbing surfaces. In the case of the squealing chalk, the stick-slip effect is anchored by shear modes of vibration in about a 0.3 mm thick chalk powder band at the rubbing interface, while in the case of the wet finger on glass, by such modes in a band comprising the finger skin. Furthermore, there are the interfacial bands at the contact areas that result in the decrease of the friction coefficient with relative velocity of slide, i.e., the condition for the stick-slip effect to occur. Such bands are basically composed of the asperities on the surface of the chalk band and of the epidermis ridges and the water layer, respectively.

The origin of the acoustic and seismic emissions from impacted singing grains and from avalanching dune sand grains is sought in modes of vibration in discreet grain columns. It is postulated that when the grains in a column are pressed together and forced to slide over one another, elastic shear bands are formed at the contact areas with distinct elastic moduli. Such contact shear bands would have implications in the formulation of the Hertz–Mindlin contact theory. The assembly of all grain columns below the impacting pestle forms the slip (slide) shear band. The transfer of energy from the pestle to the modes of vibration in such columns is effected by the stick–slip effect. The intense collective vibration of all columns in the slip shear band results in the familiar musical sound. The concept of grain flowability is used to justify the disparity between the acoustic emissions from impacted singing grains and from avalanching booming dune sand grains. The concept of grain columns is assumed to apply in the freely avalanching sand band, but with longer length to justify the lower frequencies. This approach predicts frequency spectra comprising a low-frequency content and a dominant frequency with its harmonics in agreement with the experimental evidence. Additionally, it can account for the low-frequency vibration evoked when booming sand flows through a funnel, with implications in the understanding of grain silo vibrations. It is argued that sand grains do not sing or boom because the stick–slip effect in not applicable in the contact shear bands.

This work presents an experimental and theoretical combined study of the effects of the elastic rubber blocks with different surface modifications on the friction-induced stick–slip oscillation and wear of a brake pad sample in sliding contact with an automobile brake disc. The experiments are conducted on the customized experimental setup in a pad-on-disc configuration. The experimental results show that (1) the friction system with the plain rubber block still exhibits visible stick–slip oscillation, but the intensity of the stick–slip oscillation is reduced to a certain degree compared with the Original friction system (without rubber block); (2) the grooved rubber blocks display a better ability to reduce the stick–slip oscillation compared with the plain rubber block; (3) the rubber blocks with a vertical groove (perpendicular to the relative velocity) or a horizontal groove (parallel to the relative velocity) or a diagonal groove (45° inclined to the relative velocity) on their surfaces can suppress the stick–slip oscillation more effectively with various degrees of success. The experimental results also reveal the varying effects of the different rubber blocks on wear. To explain the experimental phenomenon reasonably, a theoretical analysis is conducted to investigate the effects of different rubber blocks on both stick–slip oscillation and wear using ABAQUS. Furthermore, the analysis of the contact pressure on the pad interfaces and the deformation of the rubber blocks are studied to provide a possible explanation of the experimental results.

An artificial elastic finger skin for robot fingers has been developed for controlling grasp force when weight and frictional coefficient of the grasped object are unknown. The elastic finger skin has ridges at the surface to divide the stick/slip area. It also has a pair of tactile sensors embedded per ridge similar to human fingertips. The surface of the whole finger is curved so that reaction force distributes. A Finite Element (FE) model of the elastic finger skin was made to conduct dynamic contact analysis using a FE method to design the elastic finger skin in detail. Then the elastic finger skin was made. We confirmed by calculation and experiment that incipient slippage of the ridge occurring near the edge of contact is detected. Then, grasp was controlled using the finger. Arbitrary objects were lifted by incipient slippage near the edge of contact. We found that artificial finger skin is useful for controlling grasping force when the weight and friction coefficient between the elastic finger skin and grasping object are unknown.

Friction is a repeatable and undesirable problem in hydraulic systems where always has to be a tendency for its removal. In this paper, the friction model is presented through which the most accurate results are achieved and the way of friction compensation, approached trough technique presented with the mathematical model of a hydraulic cylinder of a hydro turbine wicket gate controlled by a servomechanism. Mathematical modelling of a servo mechanism and hydraulic actuator, and also the simulation of hydraulic cylinder as a part of a hydro turbine wicket gate hydraulic system where the stick-slip phenomenon is present between the system components that are in contact is presented. Applied results in this paper and the theory behind them precisely demonstrate under what circumstances the stick-slip phenomenon appears in such a system. The stick-slip effect is simulated using Simulink and Hopsan software and the analysis of the results are given in this paper. Removal of the stick-slip effect is presented with the design of a cascade control implemented to control the behaviour of the system and remove the appearance of a jerking motion.

Abstract The paper presents a lumped parameter model of multiple disks in frictional contact. The contact elastic and dissipative characteristics are represented by equivalent stiffness and damping parameters in the axial as well as the torsional directions. The formulation accounts for the coupling betwen the axial and angular motions by viewing the contact normal force to be the result of axial behavior of the system. The frictional contact of two disks in contact is modeled in two dynamic states (i.e. sticking and slipping state) having individual lumped parameter models and the conditions that control the switching between the two states are established. The friction forces are represented by assuming the coefficient of friction to be a function of the sliding velocity, varying exponentially from its static value at zero relative velocity to its kinetic value at high velocities. A computer simulation of an eight-rotor disk assembly is presented. The torsional vibration characteristics and how it is liked to the axial modes of vibration is analyzed. The vibration characteristics in the transient, steady-state and stick-slip region is compared. In the stick-slip region, the angular velocity of the interfaces in frictional contact is depicted and the sticking and slipping states are defined. It is shown that the duration of slip is approximately constant and the duration of stick increases almost exponentially until a final sticking is achieved.

This article focuses on developing a novel trans-scale precision positioning stage based on the stick-slip effect. The stick-slip effect is introduced and the rigid kinematics model of the stick-slip driving is established. The forward and return displacement equations of each step of the stick-slip driving are deduced. The relationship of return displacement and the acceleration produced by friction are obtained according to displacement equations. Combining with LuGre friction model, the flexible dynamics model of the stick-slip driving is established and simulated by using Simulink software. Simulation results show that the backward displacement will reduce with the acceleration of the slider produced by dynamic friction force, the rigid kinematics model is also verified by simulation results which are explained in further detail in the article.

The combined action of load and shear results in the formation of a temporary sub-micrometer hill in front of the tip. As the tip pushes against such hills, a pronounced stick-slip effect is observed for the hydrogel with low cross-linking density.

In the present paper dynamic friction processes in seals are investigated. The undesired stick-slip effect of these components under real technical conditions is analyzed. Starting with the basics of stick-slip vibrations the development of an advanced seal design with improved properties is presented that prevents stick-slip. Finally, an optimization based on the extensive but simple stability analysis is shown by an expanded theory of stick-slip simulations.
