Abstract

Increasing energy efficiency remains, alongside with lightweight design, one of the most important global goals of the technological development for the coming decades. Dry friction dampers allow a passive energy efficient damper design through their stick-slip characteristics. This work investigates three dampers: the dry friction lock-up damper, the prestressed sliding wedge damper, and the friction damper with polynomial contact surfaces. The dampers are investigated analytically an numerically. These systems utilize a prestress displacement or varying contact surface geometries in combination with dry friction to reduce vibrations. The dry friction combined with a prestress load allows a selective energy dissipation, whereas varying contact surfaces lead to robust dissipative forces. Furthermore, experiments with the dry friction lock-up damper and the prestressed sliding wedge damper are presented.
