dynamics, contact mechanics, and tribology. This discipline has been formalized
in the joint dynamics community, where the interactions between substructures
within an assembly necessitate a detailed understanding of the tribology of
interfaces and contact mechanics in order to predict the dynamics of the
assembled structure. Tribomechadynamics, though, is broader than the study of
joint dynamics; any dynamical system with an interface is Tribomechadynamic in
nature. The applications of Tribomechadynamics span magnetic tape drives (where
tape moves at high speed over a series of rollers and bearings), tires (where a
detailed understanding of the wear-rate is paramount for predicting a tire's
life), and turbine blades (where the blade-root geometry must be designed such
that the vibration of the turbine blades result in a minimal amount of wear)
amongst many other topics.This Special Issue of the ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics will highlight original research articles on Tribomechadynamics, with a special
focus on the influence of Tribomechadynamics on structural vibrations. Reports
on experimental and/or computational research are welcome.Topic AreasHysteretic measurements and
