Effect of the Dynamic Response of Fretting Devices on Test Results

摘要

The dynamic response of equipment and measurement systems can have a significant influence on results. These effects have a particular importance in experimental fretting studies owing to the frequency levels usual for these kinds of test. In the present work the measuring systems used in fretting rigs to measure friction force are modelled using a lumped mass system with a single degree of freedom. Correction factors are calculated for application to the amplitude and the phase of the measured friction force. The application of these factors to a case study is demonstrated. The distortion of the phase introduced by some filtration techniques is also discussed.
