ENGI 1313 Mechanics I Lecture 39: Analysis of Friction with Wedges
Lecture 39 Objective • to illustrate by example equilibrium analysis of wedges with dry friction forces
Wedge • Simple Machine • Inclined plane • Small applied force to generate larger (orthogonal) forces for stability, lifting or moving objects
Wedge (cont.) • Analysis of Force P • FBD of wedge first then object • Analyze FBD with least # of unknowns
Wedge (cont.) • Block Lowered onto Wedge • If P > 0 (+) then wedge is stable • If P = 0 then wedge is self-locking • If P < 0 (-) then wedge is unstable • Small s • Large
Example 39-01 • The wedge is used to level the floor of a building. For the floor loading shown, determine the horizontal force P that must be applied to move the wedge forward. The coefficient of static friction between the wedge and the two surfaces of contact is μs = 0.25. Neglect the size and weight of the wedge and the thickness of the beam.
Example 39-01 (cont.) • FBD 4 kN 4 kN 2 kN 2 kN Ax F1 N1 Ay N1 F1 P N2 F2
Example 39-01 (cont.) • Beam Normal Reaction Force 4 kN 4 kN 2 kN 2 kN Ax F1 N1 Ay
Example 39-01 (cont.) • Wedge Force P • Impending motion N1 F1 P N2 F2 = 15
Example 39-01 (cont.) • Wedge Force P • Impending motion N1 F1 P N2 F2 = 15
Example 39-02 • The wedge blocks are used to hold the specimen in a tension testing machine. Determine the design angle θ of the wedges so that the specimen will not slip regardless of the applied load. The coefficients of static friction are μA = 0.1 at A and μB = 0.6 at B. Neglect the weight of the blocks.
