AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing stud systems in buildings experience the stick/slip phenomenon due to direct contact between studs and tracks, leading to unwanted noise and structural instability under environmental forces, with prior solutions like tape or plastic inserts being ineffective and time-consuming.
Method used
A stud system with a connector having a static coefficient of friction less than 0.47 between its ends and building elements, allowing for relative movement, thereby inhibiting stick/slip and reducing noise by enabling sliding motion.
Benefits of technology
The system effectively mitigates unwanted noise and structural instability by permitting sliding motion between building elements, enhancing stability and reducing energy release during relative movement.

Abstract
According to the present invention, there is a stud system for a partition wall or ceiling, the stud system comprising: a first building element; a second building element; and a connector; wherein the connector comprises a first end fixed within the first building element, and a second end located within and in contact with the second building element, wherein the static coefficient of friction between the second end and the second building element is equal to or less than 0.47. There is further provided a connector for use in the stud system.
