The dynamics of turbine blades, incorporating friction damping systems, represent a critical area in ensuring the operational reliability and longevity of modern aero-engines and power generation ...

The integrity and performance of brake systems are fundamentally influenced by friction-induced vibration, a phenomenon that can compromise safety and noise performance. Recent investigations have ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...

1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is ...
