This paper deals with experimental evaluation methods for high speed judder on the brake-caliper system. Firstly, two types of brake caliper systems due to the wheel vibration was evaluated. Secondly, the high-speed judder of the brake was also investigated using the subjective rating evaluation in the high-speed road test. These experimental evaluations were carried out by changing the materials of brake pad and the specifications of the brake-corner module. Based upon the test results, a new specification of the brake pad, $15{\times}5$ vertical chamfer, was proposed. The new brake pad showed 3 points, 60 %, improvement in the subjective-rating evaluation comparing with conventional one. Besides, we need to decide properly with judder characteristic of pad material and have to carefully take into consideration other design parameters; caliper, disc, and the braking performance, durability, squeal noise.

This study was conducted to invent brake of non-steel material without using asbestos and disc pad added $ZrSiO_4$ was made. The physical properties and friction characteristics were investigated by varying methods. The physical properties were inspected of shear strength, hardness, heat expansion, specific gravity, % of gashole, thickness variation, weight variation and pH variation. The friction stability was measured by friction coefficient on variations of speed, temperature and deceleration condition. It was found that the physical properties were in general excellent. According to the friction characteristics tests, $ZrSiO_4$ had an abrasive property. As a results, the friction materials containing $ZrSiO_4$ 3~5vol% showed better resistance to fading and improved friction stability than the materials without ZrSiO$_4$.

Brake judder{or cold judder) caused by the disc thickness variation(DTV) is investigated experimentally, This cold judder is often perceived by steering wheel vibration, brake pedal pulsation, and vehicle body vibration. In this paper, how the DTV profile affects the vibration characteristics of vehicle body is shown by order tracking analysis(OTA) and operational vibration analysis(OVA) The tri-axial vibrations are measured at the knuckle, lower rm, and the body side of the lower arm. Also, measured are the wheel speed and the detail DTV profile. The interpretations of OTA results in three directions of tested vehicle indicate the relative importance in the contribution of the run-out and the DTV to the judder vibration. Also, the OVA results show the prominent vibration amplitude of the lower arm in the direction of the vehicle movement. in which the second order of wheel speed is dominant. These results could be used to diagnose the judder problem and to establish the correction methods.

The abnormal vibration from the BTV(Brake Torque Variation) and DTV(Disc Thickness Variation) is transferred to the suspension and steering system during braking. In this paper, judder simulation is carried out using multi-body dynamic analysis program to analyze the relation of the judder and transfer mechanism which is composed of the suspension and steering system. In order to analyze the brake judder transfer system, the full vehicle model was composed with rigid body, non-linear bushing, non-linear constraints and joints. Full vehicle model analysis was compared by actual vehicle judder test and sensitivity analysis of the suspension system is carried out.

Brake judder, one of low Sequency vibrations in brake system is determined by the excitation of Brake Torque Variation (BTV). The largest contributor to BTV is disc thickness variation. In this study, the static loads of brake torque at Suspension Mounting Points (SW) are obtained by the quasi-static analysis using DADS. The dynamic loads with frequency of BTV at SW are derived from correlation between forced vibration analysis with static loads and brake test results. And the accelerations at steering wheel were analyzed by forced vibration analysis with dynamic loads using commercial finite element program MSC/NASTRAN so that vibration characteristics of vehicle due to brake judder were investigated. Reliability of analysis results was verified through comparing the brake test results. Also, a parametric study with natural frequencies of frame, such as the 1st torsional mode and 1st bending mode, was conducted to reduce vibration amplitudes. As a result we could detect frame natural frequency conditions to improve vibration characteristics and obtained the frame model to reduce vibration amplitude.

An experimental programme was established to determine the wear behaviour of TiN coatings of thickness 1 $\mu$m and 3 $\mu$m. by PECVD with the variation of applied load, sliding velocity and sliding distance. It was shown that oxidation of transferred metal as sliding speed increased formed oxide film so that it contributed in decreasing the wear rate. With the roller-on-disc tribometer employed, the wear rate of the roller specimen was decreased with the increase in sliding distance due to the reduction in effective contact pressure. Finally, the severe cracks concentrated at the trailing edge of contact surface were explained in terms of high tensile stress prevailing at the trailing edge of the contact and were identified as a dominant wear mechanism as well as the strong local welding between coating layer and the counter surface, leading to the debonding of the coating layer.

In order to gain better understanding of wear behaviors of TiN-coated boron cast iron, tests and analyses were conducted with block-on disc type tribometer. TiN layer of thickness $2 \mu m$ and $4 \mu m$, coated by cathodic arc evaporation process, were experimentally investigated with the variation of applied load and sliding speed under dry sliding condition. Wear characteristics were expressed in terms of the three-dimentional wear map as well as the wear rate vs sliding speed and load. Comparisons of wear and friction characteristics between coated cast irons and uncoated cast irns were also made. Wear mechanism of TiN layer was explained in view of surface interaction between the mating surfaces. The thicker coating exhibited higher hardness and adhesion strength. the significance of stresses at the surface and in the subsurface was briefly discussed in relation to the wear behavior.

The brake judder is a phenomenon that the steering wheel is abnormally vibrating when the car is braked at a high speed. It is classified by the cold and the hot judder. The former is generated due to the initial uneven disk surface and the latter is resulted from the uneven heat spots on disc surface by repeatedly braking. There are two ways to reduce the judder. One is to control vibration by modification of the disk shapes and pad ingredients. The other is to improve modal characteristics of the suspension system. The latter approach is used in this research. In this paper, the real vehicle test and computer simulation are considered to systematically understand the judder phenomenon of the vehicle. The Macpherson strut suspension is employed. Especially, the judder sensitivity is calculated based on design sensitivity analysis. A bush stiffness was reworked and braking test was done to verify the sensitivity result. The judder reduction by the mode control was verified.

Brake judder has been identified in some operating military units of Korean Light Tactical Vehicles(KLTV) with In-board brake systems to improve braking performance. Severe vibration generated while driving the vehicle may reduce the KLTV's driving stability and further lead to accidents. For the prevention of this, this study analyzes the root cause through the failure analysis on the vehicles with the brake judder identified. Furthermore, the improvement factor was derived by identifying a vibration transmission path by analyzing the vibration transmission mechanism. The study analysis confirmed that the vibration of the frame during braking in the tactical vehicle is a cold judder phenomenon, which is caused by an increase in disk thickness variation due to rust and foreign substances under excessive brake disc's run-out. In addition, it was confirmed that such vibration can be reduced by improving the mounting structure. So, an improvement method for each factor was suggested and its effectiveness was verified by comparison test. Finally, it is expected that the improvement plans derived through this study can be used in the development of a next military vehicle.
