    This document summarizes a lecture on Coulomb damping. It describes the motion of a block experiencing dry friction with the ground. The friction coefficient is represented by μ. It shows the notation and assumptions used, including initial conditions of the block's position and velocity. Equations are presented to describe the block's motion to the left initially, and then its changing direction when velocity reaches zero. Remarks note that the motion is valid only when the initial displacement exceeds the frictional force, and that the natural frequency does not change with Coulomb friction, only the amplitude, which reduces in steps rather than exponentially as with viscous damping.

    Coulomb Damping

    Coulomb Damping
    Determine the motion of a block that experiences Coulomb dry friction at
    the interface with the ground. Friction coefficient assumed to be .
    NOTATION:

    Coulomb Damping

    (Contd)

    Coefficients C1, C2, C3, C4 obtained based on initial conditions

    Assume initial conditions are:

    This leads to motion to left. C3 and C4 are then found and lead to

    Remarks:

    Motion valid only kx0 > F (otherwise, the block gets stuck in the initial configuration )
    Expression for x(t) above true only for as long as the velocity does not reach zero

    At that time, ts1, direction of motion flips, you must flip the solution (will move to the right)

    At ts1, motion stops at a displacement

    Coulomb Damping

    (Contd)

    Right after ts1, block moves to right provided it doesnt get stuck

    If it moves, initial conditions are:

    This leads to motion to right. C1 and C2 are then found and lead to

    Remarks:

    Expression for x(t) above true only for as long as the velocity does not reach zero

    At that time, ts2, direction of motion flips, you must flip the solution (moving to left again)

    At ts2, motion stops at a displacement (amplitude loss of 4F/k):

    Coulomb Damping

    ~ Concluding Remarks ~

    Note that:

    At the end of each half period, when the block flips direction of motion, you
    have to check if the block feels like moving anymore

    Natural frequency of system does not change when Coulomb friction present

    After r half cycles, motion will continue provided

    That is, if you have Coulomb friciton, the period of the motion is as though there
    is no friction

    System comes to rest when Coulomb friction, but (theoretically) it takes an


    inifinte amount of time when you have viscous linear damping
    The amplitude reduces linearly for Coulomb friction, while it reduces
    exponentially for viscous linear damping
