A computational methodology to model and analyze planar rigid mechanical system with stick–slip friction in revolute clearance joint is presented. In this work, the LuGre friction model, which captures the Stribeck effect and spring-like characteristics for stiction, is employed to estimate the stick–slip friction in revolute clearance joint. A hybrid contact force model, combining Lankarani–Nikravesh model, and improved elastic foundation model, is used to establish contact model. The generalized-α method, which can dissipate the spurious high-frequency responses caused by the strongly nonlinear contact force and friction in numerical simulation, is adopted to solve the equations of motion and make the result closer to the physics of the problem. A slider-crank mechanism with revolute clearance joint based on LuGre friction model and modified coulomb friction model are simulated, respectively, and utilized to discuss the influences of the Stribeck effect and stiction on dynamic behavior of the mechanism. Different test scenarios are considered to investigate the effects of the clearance size and friction coefficient on the dynamic response of the mechanism. The results show that the mechanism based on LuGre friction model has better energy dissipation characteristics, while there are stiction phenomena of the contacting surfaces in many cases. When the relative velocity is zero or close to zero, the contact force of mechanism based on the LuGre friction model is significantly lower than that based on the modified coulomb friction model. Clearance size and friction coefficient obviously affect dynamic behavior of the mechanism.
