Friction force is modelled according to exponential model. Initially, a single degree of freedom mass-spring system on a moving belt is considered to check the type of motion of the system (periodic, non-periodic). Then the system is coupled in chain of identical oscillators starting from two, up to four oscillators. A reference probe of two coupled oscillators is applied in order to detect synchronization thresholds for both periodic and non-periodic motion of the system. The master stability function is applied to predict the synchronization thresholds for longer chains of oscillators basing on two oscillator probe. It is shown that synchronization is possible both for three and four coupled oscillators under certain circumstances. Our results confirmed that this technique can be also applied for the systems with discontinuities.application/pdfencomplete synchronizationsynchronization thresholdscoupled oscillatorsbifurcationsdynamical systemsMaster Stability Function (MSF)frictionsynchronizacja kompletnaprogi synchronizacyjnesprzężone oscylatorybifurkacjesystemy dynamiczneNadrzędna Funkcja StatecznościtarcieArtykułThis is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
