Dependence of the static coefficient of friction on the time of stationary contact

, 1966
The dependence of the static coefficient of friction on the time of stationary contact has been determined using stick-slip vibration to provide a periodic time of stationary contact between two metallic bodies. To describe this time dependence a theory

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.
