What we Can Learn about Stick-Slip Dynamics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stick-Slip motion is the basis for the description of a great variety of phenomena characterized by the presence of sliding friction between bodies with elastic features. In this article a simple experimental equipment for the analysis of this kind of dynamics is described. A wide set of possible experimental observations and measures are presented. This equipment has been tested at the university of Napoli Federico II in courses for undergraduate students and in the teacher training school for secondary education.
