대형 냉장고의 경우 내부구조가 복잡하고 냉장고 문을 열고 닫을 때 냉장고 내부에 온도편차가 발생하며, 또한 진동에 의한 흔들림이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 다양한 원인에 의하여 간헐적으로 부품간 마찰에 의한 이상소음이 발생하기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 이상소음의 원인과 메커니즘을 실험적으로 분석하고 이것을 줄일 수 있는 가능성에 대하여 제안하고자 한다. 이상 소음을 구현하기 위한 실험장치를 구성하고 냉장고 문의 열림과 닫힘에서 발생되는 변형량 분석과 온도 변화에 따른 내부 압력변화를 측정하여 소음발생의 주요원인에 대하여 분석하였다. 또한 설계초기 단계에서 적용이 가능한 소음저감 방법론을 제안하였다.

A precision tribometer consisting of a cantilever was designed to measure frictional forces in the micro-Newton range. As frictional forces are measured based on the bending of the cantilever, vibration of the cantilever is the most significant factor affecting the quality of the friction measurement. Therefore, improved design of the tribometer with double cantilevers and a connecting plate that united the two cantilevers mechanically was suggested. For the verification of the modified design of the tribometer, numerical analysis and experiments were conducted. Examination using the finite element method revealed that the tribometer with a double cantilever and a connecting plate exhibited faster damping characteristics than the tribometer with a single cantilever. In the experiment, effectiveness of the double cantilever and connecting plate for vibration reduction was also confirmed. Vibration of the tribometer with double cantilever decreased eight times faster than that of the tribometer with a single cantilever. The faster damping of the double cantilever design is attributed to the mechanical interaction at the contacting surfaces between the cantilever and the connecting plate. Tribotesting using the tribometer with a single cantilever resulted in random fluctuation of frictional forces due to the stick-slip behavior. However, using the tribometer with a double cantilever and connecting plate for the tribotest gave relatively uniform and steady measurement of frictional forces. Increased stiffness owing to using a double cantilever and mechanical damping of the connecting plate were responsible for the stable friction signal.
