Friction <strong>for</strong>ce's magnitude and direction at a passive contact would be the same as those at an<br />

active cmtact.<br />

Note. that the above assumptions are made <strong>for</strong> a conservative analysis. Thus, a conservative fiction<br />

coefficient should be used in consideration of the material of the part, support or the base plate, or clamps.<br />

In a fixture. plan <strong>with</strong> a vise, the part and vise jaws has a s&e contact The surface contact area is<br />

conservatively estimated by a rectangle and approximated by 3 point contacts. Each contact is assumed to<br />

apply the same amount of clamping <strong>for</strong>ce. Details m idennfy the contact area between the jaw and the part<br />

are discussed in Chapter 4 Figure 3-10 shows the 2D <strong>for</strong>ce model of a fixture plan <strong>with</strong> 2 clamps.<br />
