Outline: Types of Friction Dry Friction Static vs. Kinetic Angles Applications of Friction ENGR 1205 Appendix B 1
Contacting surfaces typically support normal and tangential forces Friction is a tangential force Friction occurs whenever there is a tendency for one surface to slide along another Friction opposes this tendency ENGR 1205 Chapter 6 2
Friction occurs when any two objects are in contact Some case we try to minimize friction (to minimize energy loss) Bearings, fluid flow etc. Some cases we try to maximize friction Brakes We rely on friction to walk ENGR 1205 Chapter 6 3
Dry (Coulomb friction) Friction force is tangential to surfaces of contact Friction occurs before sliding and during sliding Friction opposes direction of motion Fluid Adjacent layers of fluid (liquid or gas) move at different velocities Depends on velocity gradients and viscosity Internal Function of deformation and elasticity ENGR 1205 Chapter 6 4
If the box is in static equilibrium, then P=F As P increases, F increases, until force P becomes high enough to overcome static friction. Static friction must be determined from a free body diagram because it depends on P. Kinetic friction is constant for all values of P. ENGR 1205 Chapter 6 5
Object is NOT sliding Friction is determined by FBD and equations of equilibrium Maximum value of static friction is F max = μ s N When F = F max motion is IMPENDING When 0 < F s μ s N object is in equilibrium ENGR 1205 Chapter 6 6
Object is slding and generally object is NOT in equilibrium (P>F k ) Friction force is constant and determined by: F max = μ s N Object could in equilibrium (only happens if it is already moving Generally, μ k < μ s ENGR 1205 Chapter 6 7
The resultant contact force is R acting at an angle F tan N φ When the friction is a maximum N (impending motion) then the angle is also at a maximum F tan s max s N F R ENGR 1205 Appendix B 8
F f = 0 for smooth surfaces F N = normal force F f µ s F N for no motion, µ s = coefficient of static friction F f = µ s F N for impending motion (about to slide) F f = µ k F N for motion, µ k = coefficient of kinetic friction F f opposes direction of (impending) motion ENGR 1205 Appendix B 9
ENGR 1205 Appendix B 10
Sliding vs. Tipping Consider pushing (with force P) on a uniform crate of weight W that sits on a rough surface. As P increases the crate will slip or tip. If the μ s is large then the normal force with shift to the corner x = b and the crate 2 will tip over. So, apply N at some unknown distance from the centre line and solve for x. ENGR 1205 Chapter 6 11
Assume it is in equilibrium not moving, acceleration = 0 Treat friction as an unknown & solve from FBD If F solved > s N, then the friction required to maintain static equilibrium is larger than the maximum friction available the object slides ENGR 1205 Appendix B 12
A 100 N force acts as shown on a 300 N block placed on an inclined plane. The coefficients of friction between the block and the plane are μ s = 0.25 and μ k = 0.20. Determine whether the block is in equilibrium. 100 N 4 3 ENGR 1205 Appendix B 13
