This paper aims to identify the causes and mechanisms of contraction-expansion noise in refrigerators and proposes noise reduction methods. Contraction-expansion noise generated in refrigerators is mainly due to stick-slip phenomenon occurring on the contact surface between inner parts. Friction experiments were conducted to identify the factors causing the stick-slip phenomenon. Furthermore, the vibration level of the internal components was measured to determine the characteristics and location of the contraction-expansion noise. Based on the experimental results, experiments have been conducted to verify the noise characteristics for each factor. From this, it was confirmed that the friction experiment and the refrigerator contraction-expansion noise generation location and frequency were the same. The vibration level also increased as the vertical force was increased due to load loading. Also, it was confirmed that the contraction-expansion noise was reduced when the surface roughness was increased. Therefore, it was concluded that increasing the surface roughness of the contact surface in the same way as the results of the friction experiment was the method of reducing contraction-expansion noise.

This study provided the analytical finite element method estimating the friction-induced noise on the complex beam structure. The frictional contact model was theoretically constructed and applied to the analytical finite element squeal model. The numerical results showed that the beam structure was excited by the mode-coupling instability of the specific system modes. Also, the direction of friction was shown to influence on the dynamic instability of the modes. Besides, the unstable modal frequencies estimated from the numerical calculation were validated by the experiment of the actual beam structure.

씨일의 표면마찰계수 특성이 씨일의 동특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 씨일내의 유속이 증가함에 따라서 마찰계수가 급상승하는 허니콤 씨일을 대상으로 이론적 해석을 하였다. 그 결과 마찰계수의 급상승 현상은 마찰계수의 급상승 현상이 없는 경우에 비하여 강성계수의 감소를 야기하고 회전축-베어링계의 불안정성과 관계가 있는 연성 강성계수의 큰 감소를 보였다. 또한 회전축-베어링계의 안정성을 도모하는 감쇠 계수의 증가를 야기함으로써 회전기계의 운전점이 마찰계수의 급상승 범위에 있다면 시스템의 안정성면에서 매우 유리할 것으로 사료된다. 마찰계수의 급상승 현상을 보이는 허니콤 씨일의 동특성에 대한 이론적 해석 결과, 강성계수는 매우 작게 예측되었으나 연성강성계수와 감쇠계수는 비교적 실험결과와 근사함을 보였다.

세탁기의 Shaft Ass'y는 모터로부터 동력을 전달 받아 세탁 및 탈수행정의 제어 기능을 수행하는 세탁기의 핵심부품으로 사용 중 브레이크 밴드소음을 유발하여 소비자의 불만족 요소로 작용하고 있다. 그러나 드럼과 브레이크 페드의 정확한 마찰소음 현상 규명이 안되어 불량 개선에 많은 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하고자 소음, 진동, 소재 분석 및 ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) 분석을 통해 고장원인을 규명하였다. 특히 ESPI는 비접촉, Full Field 정밀 변형 가시화 장치로 Shaft Ass'y의 동작 중 공진소음 발생 부위를 변형 가시화를 통해 정확하게 찾을 수 있었다. 밴드소음 원인은 브레이크 Lever의 공진에 의해 발생하였고 브레이크 밴드 패드의 접촉면적 불균일로 인한 국부적 마찰력 증대가 소음원으로 작용하였다. 밴드소음의 정확한 고장 메커니즘 규명을 통해 개선안을 도출하여 적용하였고 밴드소음 개선효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

A method to reduce the Contraction and Expansion (CE) noise occurred in an air conditioner is investigated. The noise is measured during the cooling and heating phases in a temperature and humidity chamber to identify the generating phenomenon of CE noise of the air conditioner and the decomposition method is used to estimate its occurrence location. The CE noise of an air conditioner is known to be caused by a stick-slip phenomenon generated by joints of parts connected to the lower decor. Thus a friction experiment was conducted to investigate noise inducing factors. Also, this study established evaluation criteria to effectively analyze the results from friction experiments. Experimental results indicate that increasing surface roughness on both sides of joints is effective. Accordingly, the effect of increased surface roughness on joints of upper and lower decor of air conditioners is evaluated to see its feasibility in a temperature and humidity chamber.

This study provided the analytical model describing the friction-induced noise in the ball joint system under the edge loading condition. The frictional and conformal contact kinematics between the spherical bearing and the hemispherical socket was derived and the dynamic equations of the perturbed motion were established. The numerical results revealed that the bending modes of the ball joint system can become unstable due to friction, and the axial load and contact stiffness strongly influenced the dynamic instability. In contrast, the tilting angle of the socket was not found to significantly contribute to the dynamic instability of the ball joint.
