This work investigates the tribo-structural dynamics of a slender post-buckled beam interacting with a translating surface through rolling, sticking and slipping at a line contact. Extreme slenderness, strong geometric nonlinearity and compliant boundary conditions create a highly sensitive frictional environment in which small variations in contact kinematics generate measurable near-field acoustic emission. A dedicated experimental setup was developed to synchronously record beam motion, roller rotation, contact forces and near-field pressure signatures.
A nonlinear mechanical model is formulated using Euler–Bernoulli kinematics with von Kármán strain, Hertzian normal contact and a smooth velocity-dependent friction law reproducing rolling and stick–slip transitions. Motivated by experimental observations that near-field acoustic activity correlates with cycle-to-cycle slip variability, a compact phenomenological modulation acting solely on the kinetic friction coefficient is introduced. The measured near-field signal is treated as a bounded, non-energetic observable and used as a diagnostic descriptor of unresolved microscale contact fluctuations, without implying physical acoustic feedback.
Coupled structural–acoustic finite-element simulations reproduce changes in stick–slip periodicity, effective damping and the tonal components of the measured acoustic response. The resulting framework provides an energetically admissible diagnostic perspective on tribo-acoustic behaviour in slender post-buckled structures with rolling contact and addresses an under-explored relationship between near-field sound and frictional sliding variability.
