Mechanical Friction with Simulink and Physical Modeling

29 Apr 2008 (Updated 20 May 2008)

Modeling and simulating mechanical friction in the Simulink and Physical Modeling environment

File Information
Description	Stephen Lunzman (Caterpillar), Dallas Kennedy and Steve Miller (The MathWorks) Systems modeled include clutches, transmission, and pistons. The friction is continuous or hybrid continuous-locking type. Locking friction requires mode iteration and algebraic loops. MATLAB Digest article linked to this submission: http://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/digest/2008/may/friction.html
Acknowledgements	This submission has inspired the following: Physical Modeling of Mechanical Friction
Required Products	SimDriveline SimMechanics Simscape Simulink
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b)
Other requirements	- continuousPiston and lockingPiston depend on SimMechanics. - continuousClutch3 and multiClutch depend on SimDriveline. - JPGs needed as support files for two models - M-file script for use with continuousPiston, which must be loaded first
Zip File Content
Other Files	continuousClutch3.mdl, continuousPiston.mdl, lockingPiston.mdl, multiClutch.mdl, continuousPiston_fricCoeff.jpg, lockingPiston_diagram.jpg, plotFrictionCurve.m, continuousClutch1.mdl, continuousClutch2.mdl
