Mechanical Friction with Simulink and Physical Modeling
Stephen Lunzman (Caterpillar), Dallas Kennedy and Steve Miller (The MathWorks)
Systems modeled include clutches, transmission, and pistons. The friction is continuous or hybrid continuous-locking type. Locking friction requires mode iteration and algebraic loops.
NOTE: If you receive MATLAB® command line warnings upon opening these models in a later version of Simulink, resave, close, and reopen the models in the later version.
