$frnTag unique friction model object tag
$aSlow constant for coefficient of friction at low velocity
$nSlow exponent for coefficient of friction at low velocity
$aFast constant for coefficient of friction at high velocity
$nFast exponent for coefficient of friction at high velocity
$alpha0 constant rate parameter coefficient
$alpha1 linear rate parameter coefficient
$alpha2 quadratic rate parameter coefficient
$maxMuFact factor for determining the maximum coefficient of friction. This value prevents the friction coefficient from exceeding an unrealistic maximum value when the normal force becomes very small. The maximum friction coefficient is determined from μFast, for example μ ≤ $maxMuFac*μFast.



THEORY:

1. Define the friction coefficient at slow (μSlow) and fast (μFast) velocity [1] (Figure 3):

μSlow = aSlow*N^(nSlow-1)
μFast = aFast*N^(nFast-1)

where aSlow, aFast, nSlow ≤ 1, nFast ≤ 1 are constants that determine the friction coefficient models. As the friction coefficients μSlow and μFast are unitless, the user must be careful to define the constants to coincide with the units of the model input data.

2. The friction coefficient as a function of velocity is [2]:

μ = μFast - (μFast-μSlow )*exp(-a*udot)

where udot is the velocity at the sliding interface and a is a rate parameter.

3. In this friction model, a is assumed to be dependent on axial force N through:

a = α0 + α1*N + α2*N^2

where α0, α1 and α2 are constants, with units of Time/Length, Time/Length/Force and Time/Length/Force^2 respectively.



SPECIAL CASES:

1. Constant friction coefficient:

μ = const: $nSlow = $nFast = 1.0; $aSlow = $aFast = μ; all other constants defining μ are arbitrary.

2. Friction coefficient varies with velocity but is independent of vertical force:

μ is independent of vertical force: $nSlow = $nFast = 1.0; $alpha0 = a (rate parameter); $alpha1 = $alpha2 = 0.

3. Friction coefficient varies with vertical force but is independent of velocity:

μ is independent of velocity: $nSlow = $nFast; $aSlow = $aFast; all other constants defining μ are arbitrary.



EXAMPLE:

set muSlow 0.12

set muFast 0.18

set nSlow 0.8

set nFast 0.7

set alpha0 25.0

set alpha1 0.0

set alpha2 0.0
