Abstract

Two experimental pin-type joint models are developed to study the effects of Coulomb Damping due to rotational slip. Model One is an inverted beam allowed to pivot at one end as a pendulum. Model Two is a horizontally mounted beam allowed to pivot about its center. The equations of motion for the joint geometries, considering only macro-slip friction, are developed and solved. Theoretical and experimental results for the response of the models in vibration are presented showing energy dissipation versus clamping force for the joint(s).
