This paper deals with the characteristics of idle vibration due to the type of constant velocity joints. Based on the kinematics model of constant velocity joints, a offset between the tripod center and tullip center plays a important role in generating unwelcome forces. Moreover, it induced additional forces in lateral direction of a vehicle movement according to the angle of the spider in idle vibration. The difference of mass for each constant velocity joint types affect the natural frequency of the driveshaft and the powertrain. When the static torque is applied to the constant velocity joints, the natural frequencies of the driveshaft are reduced nearby 50Hz. There will be a big opportunity that the dirveshaft and constant velocity joints would be a transfer path of idle vibration at D or R gear range. Experiments indicate that TJ type is better than SFJ and DOJ in idle vibration.

Generated Axial Force (GAF) due to internal friction at Constant Velocity (CV) joints is one of the causes generating vibration problems such as shudder in vehicle. In this study, the GAF measuring tester is developed to precisely measure GAF caused by internal friction in CV joints. As the developed tester can control temperature at joint, driving torque, angle of rotation and joint angles, actual driving conditions such as sudden acceleration can be applied to the machine. GAFs are measured and compared by using different types of grease in tripod housing. Also GAFs are measured for both new and used CV joints to be compared and analyzed. The test result shows the repeatability and consistency of the tester in terms of the different test conditions. By using the developed CV joint tester, friction performance of the joint can be evaluated by proposing the best CV joints as well as greases generating the lowest GAF.

The paper proposes a multi-body dynamic simulation to numerically evaluate the generated axial force(G.A.F) and plunging resistant force(P.R.F) practically related to the shudder and idling vibration of an automobile. A numerical analysis of two plunging types of CV joints, tripod joint(TJ) and very low axial tripod joint(VTJ), is conducted using the commercial program DAFUL. User-defined subroutines of a friction model illustrating the contacted parts of the outboard and inboard joint are subsequently developed to overcome the numerical instability and improve the solution performance. The Coulomb friction effect is applied to describe the contact models of the lubricated parts in the rolling and sliding mechanisms. The numerical results, in accordance with the joint articulation angle variation, are validated with experimentation. The offset between spider and tulip housing is demonstrated to be the critical role in producing the 3rd order component of the axial force that potentially causes the noise and vibration in vehicle. The VTJ shows an excellent behavior for the shudder when compared with TJ. In addition, a flexible nonlinear contact analysis coupled with rigid multi-body dynamics is also performed to show the dynamic strength characteristics of the rollers, housing, and spider.

The finite deformation with self contact problem of C. V. joint boots is analysed by using the implicit finite element code ABAQUS/Standard. It is shown that analysis results have a good agreement with experimental ones to the degree of maximum rotation angle. As an application of design modification, the effects of thickness change of the rounded part of boot model on the bending and the contact situation of deformed geometry are investigated. In this paper, the effect of the design modification in the end on the leakage is examined using 2-D finite element simulation. To solve the leakage problem of grease, the length of the small end is enlarged. From this study, it is confirmed that we can save the cost and time by applying FEM techniques to analyze and design the boot model.

The scale of repair parts market reached 0.1 billion won. Above all, it is remarkable that the automotive insurance business world is paying f3r 40 ~5o% of the whole repair cost. The repair parts consist of a genuine parts, non-genuine parts, recycling used parts. It is the recent trend that recycled parts are more popular than the genuine parts f3r repairing crashed cars due to the cost. Performance of recycled continuous velocity(CV) joints and power steering(PS) gear box as replacement parts was tested and analysed in this study. To examine the durability of the recycled parts, the replaced CV joints and PS gear box after repair were tested and analysed periodically. The results were showed that basic performance of the recycled parts was normal. However the ball cage of CV joints was more frequently damaged than genuine parts. We concluded that a test standard and amendment of related laws for recycled parts is required to get a safe and durable parts.

The fracture strength of cross groove type constant velocity joint is largely determined by the fracture strength of the cage having window-like pockets for retaining the torque transmitting balls. A stress distribution acting on the cage is influenced by rigidities of the rim portion and of the column members, therefore requires a calculation such as FEA. To analyze fracture strength of cage, a 3-D elasto-plastic finite element analysis and a submodeling technique are used to achieve both computational efficiency and accuracy. The results are in reasonably good agreement with experiment.

This study examines the influence of some dimensional errors on the shudder-type disturbance of the tripod joint and vehicle, using an experimental evaluation and related simulation. With the introduction of the concept of influence factor, the sensitivities of shudder-type disturbance can be evaluated as the ratio of the difference between the ideal value without dimensional errors and actual value with them in the tripod joint and vehicle. Futhermore, influence factors calculated in this study can be utilized as a basic design data for the practical application of the tripod joint to an automobile design.

An internal friction model was developed to model the frictional behavior of automotive Constant Velocity (CV) joints by using the test data from an instrumented CV joint friction apparatus with actual driveshaft assemblies. Experiments were conduced under different realistic operating conditions of oscillatory speeds, CV joint articulation angles, lubrication, and torque. The experimental data were used to develop a physics-based semi-empirical CV joint internal friction coefficient model as a function of different CV Joint operating parameters. It was found that the proposed friction model captures the experimental results well not only the static behavior of friction coefficient, but also the dynamic friction terms, which is the main source of force that causes vehicle vibration problems.
