Title Dynamics of a heavy homogeneous ball on a rough plane
Author(s) V. Ph. Zhuravlev (Moscow)
Abstract The problem on a homogeneous ball rolling on a rough surface was studied in numerous papers [1-6]. The most important aspect of this problem is the concept of force interaction between the ball and the plane at the point of contact. The authors of the cited papers believe themselves to be using the Coulomb dry friction model just because they assume that the force at the point of contact is directed opposite to the relative slip velocity and does not depend on the modulus of the latter.

In reality, such a model is a speculative extrapolation of the Coulomb law to conditions for which it was neither originally stated nor verified experimentally. However, there are experiments refuting the possibility of such a generalization of the model to cases in which pure slip is accompanied with spin [7].

Dry friction effects, which are well known for extended contact regions under complex slip kinematics [8, 9], also occur in the case of point contacts. In the present paper, we study the rolling problem for a homogeneous ball by using the Coulomb dry friction model in differential form with subsequent integration over the contact region. The contact region is determined according to the Hertz contact stress theory, and then we pass to the limit of a point contact.

The equations of motion of a heavy ball with this friction model admit exact integration and analysis, which shows that, by applying the dry friction law consistently, one arrives at results contradicting those obtained by using the simplified version of this law.
