Summary: | The nonlinear dynamics of a sliding system with a harmonically modulated normal force and Coulomb friction in contact with a rigid plate is studied in this paper. The system is a simple two-DOF linear structure integrated with a geometrically nonlinear elastic attachment. Periodically modulated normal force, which is perpendicular to the in-plane modes, is exerted on the structure. Nonlinearities are introduced by the elastic attachment and friction forces. Consequently, the two-to-one modal interaction between the in-plane modes is imposed. The nonlinear response and bifurcation characteristics of the aforementioned system are computed using AUTO software. Comprehensive numerical simulations revealed that (a) when the normal force frequency is in the vicinity of the vertical natural frequency (or twice the horizontal natural frequency), horizontal response loses its stability (period-doubling bifurcation) after a certain normal force threshold, and (b) parameters such as in-plane angular misalignment and the plate constant velocity govern the occurrence of the subsequent Hopf bifurcations. |
