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.

The brake squeal propensity associated with friction curve is investigated by using the hybrid finite element(FE)-analytical model. The modal analysis of an actual disc and pad is conducted by FE method. Also, the modeling for the accurate contact and disc rotation is analytically achieved. The eigenvalue analysis for the hybrid model provided the squeal dependency on the friction curve. Particularly, some pad modes and the disc torsion mode are shown to be sensitive for the friction curve.

This paper deals with analytical methods for low frequency and high frequency brake squeal noise on brake-rear caliper. In order to improve low frequency and high frequency squeal noise, we take survey caliper bracket shape parameters and housing shape parameters. Besides, using the combination of bracket and housing parameter were surveyed. Thus, using the combination of bracket Alt_05 and housing Alt_45 specifications, instability analysis and brake dynamo test were carried out. Based upon the two models, low and high frequency squeal noise of base model were improved. But, for 6.0 kHz frequency noise, which is not improved, it needs to additionally study on instability analysis and combination of the other brake components.

To verify the possibility of generating rattling noise from a motor on caliper brake system, a test was conducted using a caliper excited with vibrations similar to that in a vehicle running on actual roads; this test was conducted using a quiet shaker installed in an anechoic room. After several hours of external excitation, the test assembly was loosened, and the frequency of rattling noise generation increased. A microphone was used to record the generated noise. The measured signals were analyzed by conventional spectrum analysis. Since the noise is generated as an impact response, the advantages of employing Prony analysis was discussed, and the results were compared to those obtained using conventional fast Fourier transforms. The accuracy of Prony analysis was through endurance tests on different brake systems.

Vibro-acoustic characteristics of a simplified disk-brake rotor containing a narrow radial slot are studied using a semi-analytical procedure. First, modal sound radiations for flexural and radial modes of a generic annular disk having identical key dimension and slot(with free boundaries) are defined using pre-developed analytical solutions based on the modal vibrations from finite element model. The analytical solutions are validated by fully computational methods. Second, sound radiation from a simplified brake rotor simulated using sound radiation solution of the generic disk based on the rotor eigensolutions computed using a finite element code. Predictions by the semi-analytical method matched well numerical calculations using finite element and boundary element method. Finally, sound radiation and vibration characteristics for the example rotor due to a harmonic excitation fixed to the rotor or rotating around the rotor are also obtained.

The squeal propensity of an automotive disc brake system is studied in the theoretical and computational manner. The rotating disc is in contact with two stationary pads and the nonlinear friction is engaged on the contact surface. The friction-coupled equations of motion are derived in the finite element(FE) of the actual brake disc and pad. From the general definition of friction force, the rotation and in-plane mode effects can be included properly in the brake squeal model. The eigenvalue sensitivity analysis and the mode shape visualization at squeal frequencies are also conducted for the detailed investigation. It is found that the squeal propensity is strongly influenced by rotation effect and the in-plane mode can be involved in squeal generation.

In this study, squeal noise test was conducted by using the lab-scaled brake dynamometer. Squeal conditions with respect to the angle of the brake pads ($34^{\circ}30^{\circ}26^{\circ}$) and negative slope, were studied. Squeal frequency of the In-plane-like mode was confirmed by hammering test and finite element analysis. This Squeal mode was difficult to control by the pad angle variation. Also the squeal sound was found to be periodic signal which has higher harmonic components. Squeal noise is independent of the negative slope. It implies that squeal noise can reach the stick-slip oscillation.

Creak noise is kind of scratching noise which is usually generated in drum brake system on the vehicle. When driver brakes vehicle or applies parking lever, drum brake shoe moves to the drum side to stop the vehicle. And at that time, moving shoe scratches backing plate ledge surface, and that makes scratching noise in special condition. This study presents how we can generate creak noise in the laboratory and how we can reduce it by experimental approach. Through several and various type of tests, we could generate creak noise with damage on ledge area of the backing plate in the lab and we verified tab type shoe design can reduce this scratching noise. As a result of this study, we notified how creak noise happens in the vehicle, and that tab type design shoe has good performance of ledge area damage based on lab test(rig & dynamometer equipment), and that this can reduce potential risk of creak noise in the field.

The analytical-finite element(FE) squeal model is applied to investigate the squeal propensity associated with contact stiffness of the disc brake system. The system contact stiffness is incorporated into the perturbed equations of motion in the analytical manner where the brake components are modeled by FE method. The results show that the contact stiffness of the friction material and the contact stiffness between the pads and caliper are the influential factors on the squeal propensity. Particularly, the modal instability of the 3200 Hz squeal mode drastically changes with respect to the contact stiffness between the pads and caliper.

Brake judder is one of the most serous problems in automotive-brake systems.it has not been eradicated despite all the efforts that many researchers and engineers have made the reduce it by studying its causes and mechanisms. Brake discs play a significant role in judder.The driver experiences judder as vibrations in the steering wheel,brake pedal and floor.in the higher freqency range.the structural vibrations are accompanied by a sound. Brake judder primarily affects the comfort but could,when confronting an inexperienced driver for the first time,lead to faulty reactions and reduced driving safety.
