FrictionFriction is a force that opposes motion between two touching surfaces.

W = mg

N = - mg

FFS

F = Force Causing Motion Fs = Force of Static Friction N = Force Normal Holds Surfaces in ContactW = Weight of Object ( Mass x Gravity)

Types of FrictionForce of Static Friction (Fs)

This value represents the relative force which resists the object to

move.

Force of Kinetic Friction (Fk)

This value represents the relative force which is resisting the object in motion

Page 5: Friction and Its Effects

Types Of Friction

Static Friction that acts on something that is not moving No heat or wear is generated

Sliding Force resulting when pushing or pulling an object over a surface. Heat and wear can result

Rolling Contact is reduced because of rollers or wheels or ball bearings. Less heat and wear will result.

The Relative Force of Static Friction Between 2 Objects is Expressed as the Quotient of the Force (F) Required to Move the Object

Divided by the Weight W of the Object

This is Called the Coefficient of Friction

Typical values of Mu:

SURFACES FRICTION FACTOR

Steel to Steel 0.3

Stainless steel to PTFE 0.1

Roller bearing 0.01

Steel to Concrete 0.4

Friction in Piping Systems

Pipes carrying high temperature process fluids, hence they will expand, hence there will be a movement of pipe, these leads to rubbing of surfaces, hence friction comes in to act.

Why we need to consider the friction…? Support friction in a piping system can prevent the pipe from free

expansion thus creating a higher stress in the piping systems, such as branch connections and a higher loads on the connecting equipments and restraints.

CALCULATION OF FRICTION FORCE IN CAESAR

CAESAR USES RESTRAINT STIFFNESS METHOD

CAESAR INSERTS A NON-RIGID STIFFNESS AT THE NODE EXPERIENCING DISPLACEMENTS

FORCE AT THAT NODE = DISPLACEMENT * FRICTION STIFFNESS

MAXIMUM VALUE OF THE FORCE AT THE NODE IS THE FRICTION FORCE F= μ * NORMAL FORCE

ONCE MAXIMUM VALUE IS REACHED FORCE AT THE NODE STOPS INCREASING

IF THIS RESULTANT FORCE IS LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM FRICTION FORCE THE NODE IS ASSUMED TO BE NOT SLIDING EVEN THOUGH WE SEE DISPLACEMENTS IN THE OUTPUT REPORT
