The traditional mass on a moving belt model without external force excitation is considered. The displacement and velocity amplitudes and the period of the friction induced vibrations can be predicted using a friction force modelled by the mean of friction characteristics. A more precise look at the non-smooth transition points of the trajectories reveals that an ex- tended friction model is looked-for. In present job, two so-called polynomial and exponential friction functions are investigated. Both of these friction laws describe a friction force that first drops off and then raises with relative interface velocity. An analytical approximation is applied in order to derive relations for the vibration amplitudes and base frequency and in parallel a stability analysis is performed. Moreover, results and phase plots are illustrated for both analytical and numerical approaches.
