Abstract: | This article describes the mechanism of precursor events; the mechanism was determined through an experiment and simulation
by considering non-uniform normal loading. In the experiment, real-time observations of a contact zone were performed using
a longitudinal line contact of PMMA specimens (i.e., a slider on a stationary base block) under a total normal load of 400 N.
Partial propagations of the detachment front were considered as precursor events, and it was found that non-uniform normal
loading influences the occurrence frequency of the precursor events and the increasing rate of the propagation length. In
the simulation, the time evolution of a multi-degree-of-freedom system with Coulomb friction was studied. The model considered
in the simulation comprised multiple masses serially connected by linear springs on a stationary rigid plane. By regarding
the precursor in the experiment to correspond to a partial slip (i.e., simultaneous slip of some of the masses) in the simulation,
the influence of non-uniform normal loading on the precursor events can be explained to a certain extent. Additionally, it
was found that the apparent static friction coefficient (i.e., the ratio of the maximum tangential load to the total normal
load) could be lesser than the real static friction coefficient due to the residual strain in the slider. |
