Can you imagine a mechanical system that is stable without friction, but suffers a flutter instability when friction is 'added'?

Submitted by Davide Bigoni on

Have you ever seen a structure subject to flutter instability?

Can flutter instability be connected to dry friction?

We provide positive answers to the above questions, watch the video at
