Thermal brake judder caused by the high friction heat of the brake disk. Hot thermal judder makes serious problems such as to be unstability to drivers or to decrease braking force of automobile. Because thermal judder vibration makes high vibration occurrence and thermal deformation of brake disk. Therefore it Is necessary to reduce or eleminate thermal Judder phenomenon by understanding and investigation. This paper introduces the thermal deformation arising from friction heat generation in braking and proposes the FEM analysis to predict the distribution of temperature and thermal deformation. the results of the FEM analysis show the deformed shape and temperature distribution of the disk brake. The optimization is performed to minimize the thermal judder of ventilated disc brake that is induced by the thermal deformation of the disk brake.

Braking judder vibration caused by thermal deformation of disc has been a major problem in brake system for a long time and many researchers have analyzed its mechanisms and developed solutions. However, judder vibration still occurs due to harsher vehicle driving conditions like increased power of EV (Electric Vehicle) and various environmental characteristics. In particular, in the case of eco-friendly vehicles such as EV, it is predicted that judder vibration will become a bigger problem due to the quiet driving condition compared to ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. In addition, existing studies on judder vibration have been focused on the capacity and thermal deformation of the braking friction surface. So, the influence analysis of thermal deformation on the non-friction surface of the brake disc is relatively insufficient. In this study, we attempt to secure braking characteristics that are insensitive to thermal deformation in terms of the non-friction surface of the disc, focusing on the coning characteristic that occurs during braking thermal deformation. For this purpose, various factors of the non-friction surface of the disc are analyzed using robust design. The design standard for the robustness of the brake disc against judder vibration is proposed through the research results.

The shape optimization is performed to minimize the judder of ventilated disc brake rotor that is induced by the thermal deformation of the disc. A three-dimensional finite element is developed to analyze the coupled system of temperature and displacement field, and the thermal conductivity and mechanical stiffness matrices are simultaneously taken into account. To reduce computing time, an equivalent heat transfer rate is introduced approximating the heat transfer rate on the disc surface. A deformation factor is introduced to describe the thermal deformation causing the judder. The deformation factor is chosen as an objective function in the optimization process. Consequently an optimum design is then performed minimizing the deformation factor with the design variables of the shape of the disc. The optimum design procedure presented in this study is proven to be an effective method of minimizing the judder, and it reduces the thermal deformation by 23% of the initial geometry.

When the brakes of a vehicle are applied, large amounts of heat are generated on the surfaces of the brake discs owing to friction between the discs and the brake pads. A high temperature gradient on the disc surfaces leads to thermal deformation and severe disc abrasion. Ultimately, the thermal deformation and disc wear give rise to a thermal judder phenomenon, which has a major effect on the stability of the vehicle. To investigate and propose a solution to these problems, thermoelastic instabilities under applied thermal and mechanical loads were analyzed using the commercial finite element package ANSYS by considering the contact surfaces between the discs and pads. Direct-contact three-dimensional finite elements between the discs and pads were applied to investigate the disc friction temperature, thermal deformation, and contact stress so that the thermal judder phenomenon on the surface of the disc could be predicted.

Brake-induced vibrations of a vehicle such as brake judder are determined by the excitation of brake torque variations and by their transfer to the driver's contact points via suspension, body and steering system. The formation of brake torque variation is mainly determined by static and dynamic disk thickness variations. The vibration transfer from the excitation by brake torque variation to the perception by the driver depends on the kinematic and dynamic behaviour of the components in the transfer path. Optimization of the judder performance can be achieved either by minimizing the excitation or by reduction of the judder sensitivity of the vehicle. In this paper, the optimization process of a front rotor is suggested to reduce brake judder considering the cooling performance of the rotor, the judder sensitivity of the vehicle and durability of the rotor.

차량 제동시 디스크와 패드사이의 미끄럼 접촉에 의해 발생하는 마찰열은 재질의 열 탄성 변형을 일으키고, 이는 접촉면의 압력 분포에 영향을 끼친다. 이러한 열탄성 불안정성 (Thermo-Elastic Instability, TEI)은 디스크의 고유 진동모드와 결합되어 열섬 현상 및 열간 저더 진동을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 상용 유한 요소 해석 프로그램인 SAMCEF 를 이용하여 자동차용 통풍식 디스크에 대한 3 차원 열간 저더 해석을 수행하였다. Staggered approach 에 의거한 중간 처리기를 이용하여 구조-동역학 해석 결과와 열 전달 해석 결과를 교환하였다. 디스크 표면에 열섬이 발생하는 것을 확인하였고, 이를 디스크 고유 진동 모드와 비교함으로써 모드 형상과 열섬 분포의 관계를 분석하였다.

Hot spot phenomenon that occurs, during judder vibration, is locally concentrated heat due to friction between brake disk and pad. It is important to understand the reason behind hot spot phenomenon, for reduction of judder vibration. In this experimental study, experiments were performed in accordance with rotation speed of brake disk, pressure of master cylinder and pad length for achieving different aspects of hot spot phenomenon. Temperature distribution of hot spot was obtained by using the infrared camera. As the hot spot occurred, vibration was measured and frequency analysis was performed. Finite element analysis of thermal deformation of disk was performed by using temperature distribution that was achieved by experimental results. And mode shapes of disk was analyzed by finite element analysis and compared with experimental results. It was observed that the excitation frequency band of frictional contact and frictional force mainly affects the hot spot phenomenon.

A ventilated disc brake having semi-cylindrical grooves has been proposed to improve the thermal judder by way of heat transfer enhancement. The local heat transfer coefficients were measured in the flow passage of disc brake. These measured local heat transfer data were utilized to do the finite element numerical analysis which predicts the maximum temperatures on the disc brake. The results show that the maximum temperatures on the disc surface with semi-cylindrical grooves are approximately 35.2% lower than those without them.

Studies on brake system recently are focused on braking performance, especially the consideration on safety of braking system in an extreme situation and reduction of vibration and noise during braking operation. The thermal crack and Judder from the friction between brake disc and pad can bring the threaten of passengers' safety in the end. Braking force comes from the change of kinetic energy to friction energy. Since heat energy is developed from here, the analysis on thermal stress and thermal strain can be the good data when selecting the material of brake pad and designing heat radiation holes on the disc and it will also be the data when designing the thickness of the disc. This paper is intended to show a creative design method by suggesting the thermal analysis data through FEM study and using shape design parameters.
