Abstract
Holding an object by clamping force is a fundamental phenomena. Layered or laminated architectures with internal sliding features are essential mechanism in natural and man-made structural system. In this paper, we combine the layered architecture and clamping mechanism to form a multilayered clamper and study the clamping force with internal friction. Our investigations show that the clamping force and energy dissipation are very much depend on the number of layers, its geometry and elasticity, as well as internal friction. The central goal of studying the multilayered clamp is not only to predict the clamping force, but also as a representative case to help finding some clue on the universal behaviours of multilayered architectures with internal friction.
