Chapter Eight A.Lecturer Saddam K. Kwais Friction 8/1 Introduction • In preceding chapters, it was assumed that surfaces in contact were either frictionless (surfaces could move freely with respect to each other) or rough (tangential forces prevent relative motion between surfaces). • Actually, no perfectly frictionless surface exists. For two surfaces in contact, tangential forces, called friction forces, will develop if one attempts to move one relative to the other. • However, the friction forces are limited in magnitude and will not prevent motion if sufficiently large forces are applied. • The distinction between frictionless and rough is, therefore, a matter of degree. • There are two types of friction: dry or Coulomb friction and fluid friction. Fluid friction applies to lubricated mechanisms. The present discussion is limited to dry friction between non lubricated surfaces. 8/2 The Laws of Dry Friction. Coefficients of Friction Block of weight W placed on horizontal surface. Forces acting on block are its weight and reaction of surface N. Small horizontal force P applied to block. For block to remain stationary, in equilibrium, a horizontal component F of the surface reaction is required. F is a static-friction force. As P increases, the static-friction force F increases as well until it reaches a maximum value Fm. Fm = µ s N Further increase in P causes the block to begin to move as F drops to a smaller kinetic-friction force Fk. Fk = µ k N 79 Chapter Eight A.Lecturer Saddam K. Kwais Friction Maximum static-friction force: Fm = µ s N Kinetic-friction force: Fk = µ k N µ k ≅ 0.75µ s Maximum static-friction force and kinetic-friction force are: - proportional to normal force - dependent on type and condition of contact surfaces - independent of contact area Four situations can occur when a rigid body is in contact with a horizontal surface: • No friction, (Px = 0) • No motion, (Px < Fm) • Motion impending, (Px = Fm) 80 • Motion, (Px > Fm) Chapter Eight A.Lecturer Saddam K. Kwais Friction 8/3 Angles of Friction: It is sometimes convenient to replace normal force N and friction force F by their resultant R: - No friction - No motion µ N F tan φ s = m = s N N tan φ s = µ s - Motion impending - Motion µ N F tan φk = k = k N N tan φk = µk Consider block of weight W resting on board with variable inclination angle θ. - No friction - Motion impending - No motion F µ N tan φ s = m = s N N tan φ s = µ s - Motion Fk µ k N = N N tan φ k = µk tan φ k = 81 Chapter Eight A.Lecturer Saddam K.

The coefficients of friction between the block and plane are ms = 0.25 and mk = 0.20. Determine whether the block is in equilibrium and find the value of the friction force. SOLUTION: • Determine values of friction force and normal reaction force from plane required to maintain equilibrium. • ∑ Fx = 0 : 1.

Kwais N - 4 (300 lb ) = 0 5 N = 240 lb • Calculate maximum friction force and compare with friction force required for equilibrium. If it is greater, block will not slide. Fm = µ s N Fm = 0.25(240 lb ) = 48 lb The block will slide down the plane. • Calculate maximum friction force and compare with friction force required for equilibrium. If it is greater, block will not slide. Factual = Fk = µ k N = 0.20(240 lb) Factual = 48 lb EXAMPLE 2. The moveable bracket shown may be placed at any height on the 3-in. diameter pipe. If the coefficient of friction between the pipe and bracket is 0.25, determine the minimum distance x at which the load can be supported. Neglect the weight of the bracket. SOLUTION: • When W is placed at minimum x, the bracket is about to slip and friction forces in upper and lower collars are at maximum value. 83 Friction Chapter Eight A.Lecturer Saddam K.
