Abstract

A new dynamic two-dimensional friction model is developed that is based on the bristle theory. Actually, it is the Reset Integrator Model converted into a two-dimensional space. Usually, two-dimensional friction models are in fact one-dimensional models that are rotated into a slip velocity direction. However, this common approach cannot be applied to the bristle model. That is why the idea of a two-dimensional bristle is presented. The bristle's deformation is described using polar coordinates. The carried-out numerical simulation of a planar oscillator has proved that the new model correctly captures the mechanism of smoothing dry friction by dither applied in both a perpendicular and co-linear way regarding body velocity. Furthermore, the introduced mathematical model captures two-dimensional stick-slip behaviour. Cartesian slip velocity components are the only inputs to the model. In addition, our proposed model allows one to describe friction anisotropy using bristle parameters. The paper contains the results of an experimental verification of the new friction model, conducted with a special laboratory rig employed to investigate a two-dimensional motion in the presence of dither as well as to validate our numerical results.
