Interlayer Slidable Friction Structures on Soft-Substrate


 In this paper, we considers the interlayer slidable friction structures on soft-substrate as the book-like-laminated-plates with hardcover and internal friction on the Winkler foundation. For a quasi-static problem, detail analysis on the bending response and energy dissipation are carried out for a three-point-supported layered plates on the Winker foundation. Our numerical investigations show that the hardcover, friction and substrate are essential in terms of bending response, and the energy dissipation within per loading-unloading cycle can be made to vary by a considerable amount. The study here helps to understand the mechanical interactions behavior in between of geometry, friction, elasticity and substrate.
