12.4.3 Friction
One of the challenges in modelling cup  xation is consideration of the
aforementioned surface structures. These are hard to model in detail on the
micro-, meso- or macro-level which is why a friction coef cient is assigned
to the corresponding contact pair. In the basic form, the Coulomb friction
model is used to describe the tangential contact behaviour. A contact pair
under tangential load transfers shear stress. The Coulomb friction model
de nes a critical value of shear stress ( τ
crit
) where sliding of the surfaces
begins, depending on the contact pressure ...
