The results of measurements showing normal vibrations and rubbing noise generated during unlubricated smooth sliding between metal surfaces are presented. The measurements were made on pin-on-disc type apparatus instrumented with piezoelectric acceleration transducers and microphones. Spectral analysis of the both signals up to frequency of 10kHz indicates that they are closely correlated. The major components of both signals in this frequency range are primarily associated with the normal contact vibrations which are excited by surface irregularities being swept through the contact region during sliding. As an approximation to the seismic input of surface irregularities, an effective surface wavenumber spectrum was assumed in the form of an inverse vibration and noise measurements for a number of surface finishes and mean loads. The predominant frequency component of which levels of the normal vibration and noise are close to overall levels of the both signals is induced by contact resonance between the two bodies and its frequency can be calculated from the Hertzian theory.

The change in the critical speed due to surface temperature of automotive disk brakes may be analyzed both theoretically as well as experimentally. Juddering of disk brakes is closely related to its critical speed. In analyzing the critical speed, if $\sigma$ is positive, Disk develops TEI(Thermo-Elastic Instability) resulting in juddering in disk brakes. And $\sigma$ is affected not only by the critical speed but also by the initial temperature of disk surface. As the initial temperature of the disk surface rises, the critical speed decreases and juddering is developed more easily. Also, when hot spots are developed by TEI, they show large temperature difference in small local range.

Four degrees of freedom mathematical model is presented to describe the fundamental mechanisms of the disc brake squeal noise. A contact parameter is introduced to describe the coupling between the in-plane and the out-of-plane motions. The friction coeficient including "relative velocity" and ′normal force" can be generally formulated as the form of multiplication with polynominal parameters(${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$). (omitted)

A two degree-of-freedom mathematical model is presented to investigate the friction mechanism of a disc brake system. A contact parameter is introduced to describe the coupling between the in-plane and the out-of-plane motions. The model with the contact parameter is considered under the assumption that the out-of-plane motion depends on the friction force along the in-plane motion. In order to describe the relationship between the friction force and the out-of plane motion, the dynamic friction coefficient is considered as a function of both relative velocity and normal farce. Using this friction law, a contact stiffness matrix along the normal direction can be obtained. The out-of-plane motion is then investigated by both the stability analysis and the numerical analysis for various parametric conditions. The results show that the stiffness parameters of the pad and the disc must be controlled at the same time. Also, the numerical analysis shows the existence of limit cycle caused by the effect of intermittent contact stiffness.

In this study, a complex eigenvalue analysis is implemented to verify the unstable mode of a brake system using ABAQUS software. The component participation factors and component modal participation factors are used to analyze the total contributions from each component and each component mode to a particular unstable system mode. This study shows that the 1.4-kHz unstable system mode comes from mode coupling between the 2nd nodal diametric mode and 3rd lateral axial mode (LAM) in the baseline model. A sensitivity analysis with a linking index is performed to prevent the mode coupling of the component modes. This linking index analysis shows the optimum mass loading position to move away the natural frequency of the 3rd LAM, which contributes to the unstable mode. Finally, a complex eigenvalue analysis is implemented with mass loading in the tie bar position, and no unstable system mode is generated in the low-frequency range (below 2 kHz).
