Abstract--Non-smooth mechanical models involving dry friction constrained motion are important in various applications and are essential in the design of high-fidelity software simulation used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. UHCL researchers introduce new friction models implemented with robust, efficient, and accurate simulation methods to address various issues, particularly with velocities near zero.
