The dynamical model of the rolling friction of spherical bodies on a plane without slipping
In this paper the model of rolling of spherical bodies on a plane without slipping is presented taking into account viscous rolling friction. Results of experiments aimed at investigating the inﬂuence of friction on the dynamics of rolling motion are presented. The proposed dynamical friction model for spherical bodies is veriﬁed and the limits of its applicability are estimated. A method for determining friction coeﬃcients from experimental data is formulated.
