The integrity and performance of brake systems are fundamentally influenced by friction-induced vibration, a phenomenon that can compromise safety and noise performance. Recent investigations have ...

Friction springs consist of radial rings that deform briefly and convert impact energy into frictional heat. Design them into your next design for damping. Carl Fenstermacher, President, Ringfeder ...

Whenever you are trying to design a micromechanical system, it is likely to include the fundamental machine parts of gears, gimbals, hinges, pistons and suspended beams that flex. Brian Borovsky, ...
