Transient friction loading is the mechanical stress induced on an object due to transient or

vibration Vibration () is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point. Vibration may be deterministic if the oscillations can be characterised precisely (e.g. the periodic motion of a pendulum), or random if the os ...

Examples

A classic example of transient friction loading is the wooden block sliding over an unlevel, non-planar surface. Due to the transient response of the contact force, the resultant frictional force is noisy. The induced stress is concisely described as transient friction loading. Another is the internal stresses on a hydraulic ram operating in a vibrational environment.Brown, Samuel, "An Analysis of Hydraulic Ram Dynamics," 1981. Due to the oscillatory nature of the acceleration experienced by the ram, in n-dimensions, the resulting frictional response is described as transient friction loading.
