Coulomb & Viscous Friction

 

The Coulombic and Viscous Friction block implements a discontinuity at zero and a linear gain otherwise by computing

 

 

where, y is the output signal, u is the input signal, Gain is the coefficient of viscous friction parameter, Offset is the coulombic friction value parameter.
