1 Introduction

Fixed-caliper disc brakes are widely used in passenger andlight commercial vehicles One ormore pairs of opposing pis-tons are used in such brake systems to clamp both sides of thedisc with the caliper carrying the pistons fixed on a knucklesuch that its position does not change relative to the discHowever with the increasing demand for driving comfort agreater need to address the noise vibration and harshness(NVH) issues of such brake systems is required Brake noiseespecially ldquobrake squealrdquo which occurs with frequencies of1ndash16 kHz and reaches the upper human auditory threshold isof particular importance in current vehicle NVH engineering[1ndash3]

Studies on brake noise began in the 1930s [4] whenresearchers conducted diverse investigations from differentperspectives including frictional properties of utilized mate-rials and structures of the brake system parts [5 6] Thesestudies revealed a close relationship between brake noise andvibrational excitation caused by friction between the disc andthe lining [7 8]The theory of this relationship is based on thetwo following basic characteristics of friction coefficients (1)the static friction coefficient is higher than the sliding friction

coefficient and (2) the friction coefficients decrease withthe increasing relative velocity within a certain range Theformer characteristic produces the system stick-slip effectwhich causes vibration [9] Meanwhile the latter inducesnegative damping which results in system instability [10ndash12]However previous studies on brake noise that investigatedthe friction characteristics mainly considered the self-excitedvibration at a specific friction coefficient or unstable vibrationcaused by the negative slope in the relative velocity versus thefriction coefficient curve [13ndash15]

Accordingly 2-DOF vibration models were employed inmost of the previous studies in which brake squeal wasexamined based on frictionThis made it difficult to simulatethe working conditions during braking thereby hinderingthe investigation of the interaction between the different partsof the brake assembly [16ndash18] Vibration models with morethan two DOFs have consequently been developed for thebrake squeal investigation For example Kinkaid designeda 4-DOF brake model that captured some of the dynamicsof a set of brake pads used to stop a rotor [19] Ahmedbuilt a 10-DOFmathematical prediction model to investigatethe effects of different brake component parameters on aventilated disc brake squeal [20] Wang et al developed a

2 Establishment of the BrakeVibration System

21 Establishment of the State Equations Figure 1 shows atypical structure of a fixed-caliper disc brake for a vehi-cle During the braking process the brake fluid pressureincreases and the rotating disc is clamped by both sides ofthe brake linings thereby resulting in the deceleration of themoving vehicle The vibration model of the brake systemwhich basically comprises the caliper disc and both sides ofthe brake linings can be simplified as shown in Figure 2

In Figure 2 119898119889 is the mass of the disc 119898119888 is the massof the caliper 1198981 and 1198982 are the masses of the inner andouter brake linings respectively V0 is the absolute linearvelocity of the brake disc assumed to be in the 119910+ directionand 119865 is the brake pressure on either lining of both sidesconsidering that the inner and outer pistons are of the samesize The movement along the 119909-axis was considered for thedisc while simultaneous movements along the 119909- and 119910-axes were considered for the caliper and both brake liningsSuppose that the disc moves in the x+ direction during thebraking process the inner lining would move in an xminus119910+direction the outer liningwouldmove in an x+119910+ directionand the caliper would move in an x+119910+ direction Thishypothesis was used to define the initial state of the systemto facilitate analysis such that the directions of the reactionforces on the springs and dampers can be obtained The finalresults would not be affected by these assumptions becausethe obtained values of the reaction forces would be negativeif their directions are opposite the assumed direction

1198961 = 1198961119889119909 = 1198962119889119909 1198882 = 1198881119888119910 = 1198882119888119910 1198962 = 1198961119888119910 = 11989621198881199101198883 = 1198881119888119909 = 1198882119888119909 1198963 = 1198961119888119909 = 1198962119888119909 1198884 = 119888119889119909 1198964 = 1198961198891199091198885 = 119888119888119909 1198965 = 119896119888119909 1198886 = 119888119888119910 and 1198966 = 119896119888119910 Furthermorethe generalized displacement 119902 and the generalized velocity119902 were introduced by defining 1199101 = 1199021 1199102 = 1199022 119910119888 = 11990231199091 = 1199024 1199092 = 1199025 119909119888 = 1199026 and 119909119889 = 1199027 Thus the vibrationequations could be derived based on generalized coordinates

Finally the state variable 119911 was used to rewrite the equationsas follows

119911119894 = 119902119894 119894 = 1 2 7119911119894+7 = 119902119894 119894 = 1 2 7 (2)

The system state equations were also obtained as follows

22 Representation of the Braking Force Based on the StribeckEffect In 1903 Stribeck found that the Coulomb frictionmodel could not be used to properly describe the actual fric-tion behavior especially the relationship between the frictioncoefficient and the normal pressure [22]The relative velocityin the classic Coulomb friction model was not considered inthe sliding friction The transition between the static frictionand the sliding friction was discrete Furthermore the valueof the sliding friction coefficient was always smaller thanthe maximum static friction coefficient However Stribeckproposed that the sliding friction coefficient decreased withthe increasing relative velocity and presented the former asa continuous function of the latter for low velocities Thefriction behavior in the low-velocity region was referred to asthe negative-slope friction phenomenon because of thenegative slope of the velocity-friction curve The followingexponential model of the phenomenon was proposed by Boand Pavelescu [23]

119891 (V) = 119891119888 + (119891119904 minus 119891119888) 119890minus(VV119904)120575 (4)

where 119891119888 is the Coulomb friction force V is the relativevelocity between the two contacting surfaces V119904 is theStribeck velocity and V119904 and 120575 are the empirical constantsBo and Pavelescu proposed a range of 05ndash1 for 120575 [23] while

some other scholars considered 120575 = 1 or 120575 = 2 as reasonable[24 25]The frictional force was directly related to the normalpressure Therefore (4) can be rewritten as follows

119891 (V) = 119865 sdot 120583 (V) (5)

120583 (V) = 120583119888 + Δ120583 sdot 119890minus(VV119904)120575 (6)

The friction conditions of the brake linings on both sideswere similar because of the structural symmetry of the fixed-caliper brake Hence 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 can be expressed as followsby substituting the variables of the state equations into (5) and(6) and setting 120575 = 1

The friction forces between the disc and the innerouterbrake linings in the vibration system presented as (7) werebased on the Stribeck friction model where sgn is the signfunction used to determine the direction of the friction onthe contacting surfaces 1199118 and 1199119 are the linear velocitiesof the contacting surfaces in ms (a unit conversion factoris required because V0 is the rotational speed of the disc inRPM) and 119877119864 is the effective radius of the brake systemThevalues of120583119888Δ120583 V119904 and119877119864were required for calculation usingthe abovementioned equations119877119864 is a design parameter witha value of 0018m and provided by the vehicle manufacturerThe values of the other parameters can be determined by thedynamometer test results

The tests in the present study were conducted using amodel 3900 brake NVH dynamometer (manufactured byLINK Engineering Company) and based on the SAE J2521(Ver 2013Apr) test procedure Hence the dynamic character-istics of the break friction coefficient during the entire brak-ing process from 50 kmh to rest can be determined Figure 3presents the obtained raw dataThe curve obviously matchedwell the characteristics of the Stribeck effect although somefluctuations in the friction which were caused by creepingexisted All 1412 sets of friction coefficient and rotationalspeed data were substituted into (4) and (6) by fitting the rawdata shown in Figure 3 The values of 120583119888 Δ120583 and V119904 can thenbe determined Table 1 and Figure 3 show the obtainedparameter values and the fitted curve respectively

as an ordinary point in the state space while one that satisfies(8) is referred to as a balance point

The coordinates of a balance point should be calculated todetermine the stability The change rates 119894 (119894 = 1 2 14)of all the state variables should be 0 at a balance point Hencethe coordinates can be calculated as follows by substituting(8) into the system state equations

1199111119890 = 1199112119890 = 1198651198910 ( 21198966 +11198962)

Equation (9) obviously showed that a balance pointcannot occur at the origin of the coordinate in this systemTherefore coordinate transformationwas necessary to satisfythe requirements for the system linearization in the process ofascertaining the system stability McLaughlinrsquos expansion wasapplied with items of the second or higher orders ignoredbecause the functions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 were the only nonlinearterms in the system state equations The approximate expres-sions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 near the origin are presented as follows

In the present study themajor working condition param-eters of the brake system included the initial disc speed V0and the brake pressure119865 Different values of these parameterswere applied to the system vibration model to numericallyascertain the stability of the balance point under variousworking conditions A total of 72 working conditions wereconsidered in the present study based on the actual brake con-ditions comprising various combinations of brake pressure 119865values of 300 400 500 600 700 800 1000 1200 and 1500Nand initial disc speed V0 values of 15 25 42 83 100 150 200and 250 RPM (25 42 83 and 250 RPM correspond to thelinear speeds of 3 5 10 and 30 kmh in SAE J2521 resp)Table 2 shows the employed values of the other parametersof the vibration system based on the structure symmetry andthe connection relationships among the different parts of thebrake system

MATLAB was used to calculate the eigenvalues of thesystem to qualitatively investigate the stability of the systemunder different working conditions Table 3 presents thenumber of eigenvalues with positive real parts under eachworking condition

Several balance points with differing stabilities couldbe present for a nonlinear vibration system Accordinglythe stability of a nonlinear system cannot be determinedbased only on the stability of one balance point ThereforeMcLaughlinrsquos expansion was used to linearize the nonlinearterms such that the system equations could be linearizedand approximately maintained at the balance point Thestability of the vibration system after linearization could bedetermined based on the stability of the balance point becausethere can only be one balance point for a liner vibrationsystem

The stability of the brake vibration system at any rota-tional speed was closely related to the pressure applied on thebrake linings according to the data in Table 3The systemmaybecome unstable when the brake pressure 119865 reaches a certainthresholdThe number of eigenvalues with positive real partsincreased with the increase of 119865 In addition the value of119865 at which the system became unstable varied with therotational speed This result indicated that the probability ofinstability of a fixed-caliper disc brake system increased withthe increasing brake pressure at a given rotational speed

Furthermore the system eigenvalues with positive realparts only occurred when the brake pressure reached thethreshold and the threshold increased with the increasingrotational speed In other words the brake systemmore easilybecame unstable at a lower vehicle speed Moreover a higherbrake pressure was required to cause an instability at a higherspeed

the trajectory rotates outward and limit cycles were formedin Figure 7 Thus the phase plots were consistent with thesystem stability characteristics determined by calculating thesystem eigenvalues

The system stability transition at a given speed wasdirectly related to the negative slope of the Stribeck frictioneffect which caused the friction coefficient to decrease withthe increasing relative speed Consequently in contrary to the

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

Finally the state variable 119911 was used to rewrite the equationsas follows

The system state equations were also obtained as follows

22 Representation of the Braking Force Based on the StribeckEffect In 1903 Stribeck found that the Coulomb frictionmodel could not be used to properly describe the actual fric-tion behavior especially the relationship between the frictioncoefficient and the normal pressure [22]The relative velocityin the classic Coulomb friction model was not considered inthe sliding friction The transition between the static frictionand the sliding friction was discrete Furthermore the valueof the sliding friction coefficient was always smaller thanthe maximum static friction coefficient However Stribeckproposed that the sliding friction coefficient decreased withthe increasing relative velocity and presented the former asa continuous function of the latter for low velocities Thefriction behavior in the low-velocity region was referred to asthe negative-slope friction phenomenon because of thenegative slope of the velocity-friction curve The followingexponential model of the phenomenon was proposed by Boand Pavelescu [23]

119891 (V) = 119891119888 + (119891119904 minus 119891119888) 119890minus(VV119904)120575 (4)

where 119891119888 is the Coulomb friction force V is the relativevelocity between the two contacting surfaces V119904 is theStribeck velocity and V119904 and 120575 are the empirical constantsBo and Pavelescu proposed a range of 05ndash1 for 120575 [23] while

some other scholars considered 120575 = 1 or 120575 = 2 as reasonable[24 25]The frictional force was directly related to the normalpressure Therefore (4) can be rewritten as follows

119891 (V) = 119865 sdot 120583 (V) (5)

120583 (V) = 120583119888 + Δ120583 sdot 119890minus(VV119904)120575 (6)

The friction conditions of the brake linings on both sideswere similar because of the structural symmetry of the fixed-caliper brake Hence 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 can be expressed as followsby substituting the variables of the state equations into (5) and(6) and setting 120575 = 1

The friction forces between the disc and the innerouterbrake linings in the vibration system presented as (7) werebased on the Stribeck friction model where sgn is the signfunction used to determine the direction of the friction onthe contacting surfaces 1199118 and 1199119 are the linear velocitiesof the contacting surfaces in ms (a unit conversion factoris required because V0 is the rotational speed of the disc inRPM) and 119877119864 is the effective radius of the brake systemThevalues of120583119888Δ120583 V119904 and119877119864were required for calculation usingthe abovementioned equations119877119864 is a design parameter witha value of 0018m and provided by the vehicle manufacturerThe values of the other parameters can be determined by thedynamometer test results

The tests in the present study were conducted using amodel 3900 brake NVH dynamometer (manufactured byLINK Engineering Company) and based on the SAE J2521(Ver 2013Apr) test procedure Hence the dynamic character-istics of the break friction coefficient during the entire brak-ing process from 50 kmh to rest can be determined Figure 3presents the obtained raw dataThe curve obviously matchedwell the characteristics of the Stribeck effect although somefluctuations in the friction which were caused by creepingexisted All 1412 sets of friction coefficient and rotationalspeed data were substituted into (4) and (6) by fitting the rawdata shown in Figure 3 The values of 120583119888 Δ120583 and V119904 can thenbe determined Table 1 and Figure 3 show the obtainedparameter values and the fitted curve respectively

The coordinates of a balance point should be calculated todetermine the stability The change rates 119894 (119894 = 1 2 14)of all the state variables should be 0 at a balance point Hencethe coordinates can be calculated as follows by substituting(8) into the system state equations

Equation (9) obviously showed that a balance pointcannot occur at the origin of the coordinate in this systemTherefore coordinate transformationwas necessary to satisfythe requirements for the system linearization in the process ofascertaining the system stability McLaughlinrsquos expansion wasapplied with items of the second or higher orders ignoredbecause the functions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 were the only nonlinearterms in the system state equations The approximate expres-sions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 near the origin are presented as follows

The linearized state equations near the origin can beobtained by substituting (11) into the state equations aftercoordinate transformation This can also be used to deter-mine the Jacobian matrix and the equations of the systemcharacteristics shown as (12) The existence of the positivereal parts of the eigenvalues is the necessary and sufficientcondition for establishing a balance point to be unstable

In the present study themajor working condition param-eters of the brake system included the initial disc speed V0and the brake pressure119865 Different values of these parameterswere applied to the system vibration model to numericallyascertain the stability of the balance point under variousworking conditions A total of 72 working conditions wereconsidered in the present study based on the actual brake con-ditions comprising various combinations of brake pressure 119865values of 300 400 500 600 700 800 1000 1200 and 1500Nand initial disc speed V0 values of 15 25 42 83 100 150 200and 250 RPM (25 42 83 and 250 RPM correspond to thelinear speeds of 3 5 10 and 30 kmh in SAE J2521 resp)Table 2 shows the employed values of the other parametersof the vibration system based on the structure symmetry andthe connection relationships among the different parts of thebrake system

MATLAB was used to calculate the eigenvalues of thesystem to qualitatively investigate the stability of the systemunder different working conditions Table 3 presents thenumber of eigenvalues with positive real parts under eachworking condition

Several balance points with differing stabilities couldbe present for a nonlinear vibration system Accordinglythe stability of a nonlinear system cannot be determinedbased only on the stability of one balance point ThereforeMcLaughlinrsquos expansion was used to linearize the nonlinearterms such that the system equations could be linearizedand approximately maintained at the balance point Thestability of the vibration system after linearization could bedetermined based on the stability of the balance point becausethere can only be one balance point for a liner vibrationsystem

The stability of the brake vibration system at any rota-tional speed was closely related to the pressure applied on thebrake linings according to the data in Table 3The systemmaybecome unstable when the brake pressure 119865 reaches a certainthresholdThe number of eigenvalues with positive real partsincreased with the increase of 119865 In addition the value of119865 at which the system became unstable varied with therotational speed This result indicated that the probability ofinstability of a fixed-caliper disc brake system increased withthe increasing brake pressure at a given rotational speed

Furthermore the system eigenvalues with positive realparts only occurred when the brake pressure reached thethreshold and the threshold increased with the increasingrotational speed In other words the brake systemmore easilybecame unstable at a lower vehicle speed Moreover a higherbrake pressure was required to cause an instability at a higherspeed

the trajectory rotates outward and limit cycles were formedin Figure 7 Thus the phase plots were consistent with thesystem stability characteristics determined by calculating thesystem eigenvalues

The system stability transition at a given speed wasdirectly related to the negative slope of the Stribeck frictioneffect which caused the friction coefficient to decrease withthe increasing relative speed Consequently in contrary to the

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

119911119894 = 119902119894 119894 = 1 2 7119911119894+7 = 119902119894 119894 = 1 2 7 (2)

The system state equations were also obtained as follows

22 Representation of the Braking Force Based on the StribeckEffect In 1903 Stribeck found that the Coulomb frictionmodel could not be used to properly describe the actual fric-tion behavior especially the relationship between the frictioncoefficient and the normal pressure [22]The relative velocityin the classic Coulomb friction model was not considered inthe sliding friction The transition between the static frictionand the sliding friction was discrete Furthermore the valueof the sliding friction coefficient was always smaller thanthe maximum static friction coefficient However Stribeckproposed that the sliding friction coefficient decreased withthe increasing relative velocity and presented the former asa continuous function of the latter for low velocities Thefriction behavior in the low-velocity region was referred to asthe negative-slope friction phenomenon because of thenegative slope of the velocity-friction curve The followingexponential model of the phenomenon was proposed by Boand Pavelescu [23]

119891 (V) = 119891119888 + (119891119904 minus 119891119888) 119890minus(VV119904)120575 (4)

where 119891119888 is the Coulomb friction force V is the relativevelocity between the two contacting surfaces V119904 is theStribeck velocity and V119904 and 120575 are the empirical constantsBo and Pavelescu proposed a range of 05ndash1 for 120575 [23] while

some other scholars considered 120575 = 1 or 120575 = 2 as reasonable[24 25]The frictional force was directly related to the normalpressure Therefore (4) can be rewritten as follows

119891 (V) = 119865 sdot 120583 (V) (5)

120583 (V) = 120583119888 + Δ120583 sdot 119890minus(VV119904)120575 (6)

The friction conditions of the brake linings on both sideswere similar because of the structural symmetry of the fixed-caliper brake Hence 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 can be expressed as followsby substituting the variables of the state equations into (5) and(6) and setting 120575 = 1

31 Determination of the System Stability Using the Complex-Eigenvalue Method A point at which = 0 is referred to

as an ordinary point in the state space while one that satisfies(8) is referred to as a balance point

= 1 2 14119879 = 119885119894 (1199111 1199112 11991114) = 0 (8)

The coordinates of a balance point should be calculated todetermine the stability The change rates 119894 (119894 = 1 2 14)of all the state variables should be 0 at a balance point Hencethe coordinates can be calculated as follows by substituting(8) into the system state equations

1199111119890 = 1199112119890 = 1198651198910 ( 21198966 +11198962)

Equation (9) obviously showed that a balance pointcannot occur at the origin of the coordinate in this systemTherefore coordinate transformationwas necessary to satisfythe requirements for the system linearization in the process ofascertaining the system stability McLaughlinrsquos expansion wasapplied with items of the second or higher orders ignoredbecause the functions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 were the only nonlinearterms in the system state equations The approximate expres-sions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 near the origin are presented as follows

1198651198911 = 119865 sdot (120583119888 + Δ120583 sdot 119890minusV0V119904) + 119865 sdot Δ120583 sdot 602120587119877119864V119904 sdot 119890

The linearized state equations near the origin can beobtained by substituting (11) into the state equations aftercoordinate transformation This can also be used to deter-mine the Jacobian matrix and the equations of the systemcharacteristics shown as (12) The existence of the positivereal parts of the eigenvalues is the necessary and sufficientcondition for establishing a balance point to be unstable

In the present study themajor working condition param-eters of the brake system included the initial disc speed V0and the brake pressure119865 Different values of these parameterswere applied to the system vibration model to numericallyascertain the stability of the balance point under variousworking conditions A total of 72 working conditions wereconsidered in the present study based on the actual brake con-ditions comprising various combinations of brake pressure 119865values of 300 400 500 600 700 800 1000 1200 and 1500Nand initial disc speed V0 values of 15 25 42 83 100 150 200and 250 RPM (25 42 83 and 250 RPM correspond to thelinear speeds of 3 5 10 and 30 kmh in SAE J2521 resp)Table 2 shows the employed values of the other parametersof the vibration system based on the structure symmetry andthe connection relationships among the different parts of thebrake system

MATLAB was used to calculate the eigenvalues of thesystem to qualitatively investigate the stability of the systemunder different working conditions Table 3 presents thenumber of eigenvalues with positive real parts under eachworking condition

Several balance points with differing stabilities couldbe present for a nonlinear vibration system Accordinglythe stability of a nonlinear system cannot be determinedbased only on the stability of one balance point ThereforeMcLaughlinrsquos expansion was used to linearize the nonlinearterms such that the system equations could be linearizedand approximately maintained at the balance point Thestability of the vibration system after linearization could bedetermined based on the stability of the balance point becausethere can only be one balance point for a liner vibrationsystem

The stability of the brake vibration system at any rota-tional speed was closely related to the pressure applied on thebrake linings according to the data in Table 3The systemmaybecome unstable when the brake pressure 119865 reaches a certainthresholdThe number of eigenvalues with positive real partsincreased with the increase of 119865 In addition the value of119865 at which the system became unstable varied with therotational speed This result indicated that the probability ofinstability of a fixed-caliper disc brake system increased withthe increasing brake pressure at a given rotational speed

Furthermore the system eigenvalues with positive realparts only occurred when the brake pressure reached thethreshold and the threshold increased with the increasingrotational speed In other words the brake systemmore easilybecame unstable at a lower vehicle speed Moreover a higherbrake pressure was required to cause an instability at a higherspeed

the trajectory rotates outward and limit cycles were formedin Figure 7 Thus the phase plots were consistent with thesystem stability characteristics determined by calculating thesystem eigenvalues

The system stability transition at a given speed wasdirectly related to the negative slope of the Stribeck frictioneffect which caused the friction coefficient to decrease withthe increasing relative speed Consequently in contrary to the

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

The friction forces between the disc and the innerouterbrake linings in the vibration system presented as (7) werebased on the Stribeck friction model where sgn is the signfunction used to determine the direction of the friction onthe contacting surfaces 1199118 and 1199119 are the linear velocitiesof the contacting surfaces in ms (a unit conversion factoris required because V0 is the rotational speed of the disc inRPM) and 119877119864 is the effective radius of the brake systemThevalues of120583119888Δ120583 V119904 and119877119864were required for calculation usingthe abovementioned equations119877119864 is a design parameter witha value of 0018m and provided by the vehicle manufacturerThe values of the other parameters can be determined by thedynamometer test results

The tests in the present study were conducted using amodel 3900 brake NVH dynamometer (manufactured byLINK Engineering Company) and based on the SAE J2521(Ver 2013Apr) test procedure Hence the dynamic character-istics of the break friction coefficient during the entire brak-ing process from 50 kmh to rest can be determined Figure 3presents the obtained raw dataThe curve obviously matchedwell the characteristics of the Stribeck effect although somefluctuations in the friction which were caused by creepingexisted All 1412 sets of friction coefficient and rotationalspeed data were substituted into (4) and (6) by fitting the rawdata shown in Figure 3 The values of 120583119888 Δ120583 and V119904 can thenbe determined Table 1 and Figure 3 show the obtainedparameter values and the fitted curve respectively

31 Determination of the System Stability Using the Complex-Eigenvalue Method A point at which = 0 is referred to

as an ordinary point in the state space while one that satisfies(8) is referred to as a balance point

= 1 2 14119879 = 119885119894 (1199111 1199112 11991114) = 0 (8)

The coordinates of a balance point should be calculated todetermine the stability The change rates 119894 (119894 = 1 2 14)of all the state variables should be 0 at a balance point Hencethe coordinates can be calculated as follows by substituting(8) into the system state equations

1199111119890 = 1199112119890 = 1198651198910 ( 21198966 +11198962)

Equation (9) obviously showed that a balance pointcannot occur at the origin of the coordinate in this systemTherefore coordinate transformationwas necessary to satisfythe requirements for the system linearization in the process ofascertaining the system stability McLaughlinrsquos expansion wasapplied with items of the second or higher orders ignoredbecause the functions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 were the only nonlinearterms in the system state equations The approximate expres-sions of 1198651198911 and 1198651198912 near the origin are presented as follows

1198651198911 = 119865 sdot (120583119888 + Δ120583 sdot 119890minusV0V119904) + 119865 sdot Δ120583 sdot 602120587119877119864V119904 sdot 119890

The linearized state equations near the origin can beobtained by substituting (11) into the state equations aftercoordinate transformation This can also be used to deter-mine the Jacobian matrix and the equations of the systemcharacteristics shown as (12) The existence of the positivereal parts of the eigenvalues is the necessary and sufficientcondition for establishing a balance point to be unstable

In the present study themajor working condition param-eters of the brake system included the initial disc speed V0and the brake pressure119865 Different values of these parameterswere applied to the system vibration model to numericallyascertain the stability of the balance point under variousworking conditions A total of 72 working conditions wereconsidered in the present study based on the actual brake con-ditions comprising various combinations of brake pressure 119865values of 300 400 500 600 700 800 1000 1200 and 1500Nand initial disc speed V0 values of 15 25 42 83 100 150 200and 250 RPM (25 42 83 and 250 RPM correspond to thelinear speeds of 3 5 10 and 30 kmh in SAE J2521 resp)Table 2 shows the employed values of the other parametersof the vibration system based on the structure symmetry andthe connection relationships among the different parts of thebrake system

MATLAB was used to calculate the eigenvalues of thesystem to qualitatively investigate the stability of the systemunder different working conditions Table 3 presents thenumber of eigenvalues with positive real parts under eachworking condition

Several balance points with differing stabilities couldbe present for a nonlinear vibration system Accordinglythe stability of a nonlinear system cannot be determinedbased only on the stability of one balance point ThereforeMcLaughlinrsquos expansion was used to linearize the nonlinearterms such that the system equations could be linearizedand approximately maintained at the balance point Thestability of the vibration system after linearization could bedetermined based on the stability of the balance point becausethere can only be one balance point for a liner vibrationsystem

The stability of the brake vibration system at any rota-tional speed was closely related to the pressure applied on thebrake linings according to the data in Table 3The systemmaybecome unstable when the brake pressure 119865 reaches a certainthresholdThe number of eigenvalues with positive real partsincreased with the increase of 119865 In addition the value of119865 at which the system became unstable varied with therotational speed This result indicated that the probability ofinstability of a fixed-caliper disc brake system increased withthe increasing brake pressure at a given rotational speed

Furthermore the system eigenvalues with positive realparts only occurred when the brake pressure reached thethreshold and the threshold increased with the increasingrotational speed In other words the brake systemmore easilybecame unstable at a lower vehicle speed Moreover a higherbrake pressure was required to cause an instability at a higherspeed

the trajectory rotates outward and limit cycles were formedin Figure 7 Thus the phase plots were consistent with thesystem stability characteristics determined by calculating thesystem eigenvalues

The system stability transition at a given speed wasdirectly related to the negative slope of the Stribeck frictioneffect which caused the friction coefficient to decrease withthe increasing relative speed Consequently in contrary to the

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

In the present study themajor working condition param-eters of the brake system included the initial disc speed V0and the brake pressure119865 Different values of these parameterswere applied to the system vibration model to numericallyascertain the stability of the balance point under variousworking conditions A total of 72 working conditions wereconsidered in the present study based on the actual brake con-ditions comprising various combinations of brake pressure 119865values of 300 400 500 600 700 800 1000 1200 and 1500Nand initial disc speed V0 values of 15 25 42 83 100 150 200and 250 RPM (25 42 83 and 250 RPM correspond to thelinear speeds of 3 5 10 and 30 kmh in SAE J2521 resp)Table 2 shows the employed values of the other parametersof the vibration system based on the structure symmetry andthe connection relationships among the different parts of thebrake system

MATLAB was used to calculate the eigenvalues of thesystem to qualitatively investigate the stability of the systemunder different working conditions Table 3 presents thenumber of eigenvalues with positive real parts under eachworking condition

Several balance points with differing stabilities couldbe present for a nonlinear vibration system Accordinglythe stability of a nonlinear system cannot be determinedbased only on the stability of one balance point ThereforeMcLaughlinrsquos expansion was used to linearize the nonlinearterms such that the system equations could be linearizedand approximately maintained at the balance point Thestability of the vibration system after linearization could bedetermined based on the stability of the balance point becausethere can only be one balance point for a liner vibrationsystem

The stability of the brake vibration system at any rota-tional speed was closely related to the pressure applied on thebrake linings according to the data in Table 3The systemmaybecome unstable when the brake pressure 119865 reaches a certainthresholdThe number of eigenvalues with positive real partsincreased with the increase of 119865 In addition the value of119865 at which the system became unstable varied with therotational speed This result indicated that the probability ofinstability of a fixed-caliper disc brake system increased withthe increasing brake pressure at a given rotational speed

Furthermore the system eigenvalues with positive realparts only occurred when the brake pressure reached thethreshold and the threshold increased with the increasingrotational speed In other words the brake systemmore easilybecame unstable at a lower vehicle speed Moreover a higherbrake pressure was required to cause an instability at a higherspeed

All the unstable DOFs of the vibration system wereconcentrated on the 119910-axis in each acceleration time historydiagram However though the vibration on the 119909-axis ofthe inner and outer linings began after the excitation by thebrake pressure119865 but the amplitude of the acceleration rapidlyattenuated and finally reached the steady state

the trajectory rotates outward and limit cycles were formedin Figure 7 Thus the phase plots were consistent with thesystem stability characteristics determined by calculating thesystem eigenvalues

The system stability transition at a given speed wasdirectly related to the negative slope of the Stribeck frictioneffect which caused the friction coefficient to decrease withthe increasing relative speed Consequently in contrary to the

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

the trajectory rotates outward and limit cycles were formedin Figure 7 Thus the phase plots were consistent with thesystem stability characteristics determined by calculating thesystem eigenvalues

The system stability transition at a given speed wasdirectly related to the negative slope of the Stribeck frictioneffect which caused the friction coefficient to decrease withthe increasing relative speed Consequently in contrary to the

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

the trajectory rotates outward and limit cycles were formedin Figure 7 Thus the phase plots were consistent with thesystem stability characteristics determined by calculating thesystem eigenvalues

The system stability transition at a given speed wasdirectly related to the negative slope of the Stribeck frictioneffect which caused the friction coefficient to decrease withthe increasing relative speed Consequently in contrary to the

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

Figure 10 Brake noise under different dragging conditions

case of the viscous damping the equivalent damping causedby the velocity feedback was negative with the negativeequivalent damping effect becoming more significant withthe increasing brake pressure because the friction force wasdirectly proportional to the normal force Finally the stabilityof the system was lost and a self-excited vibration wasinduced when the total damping of the system was negative

Figures 4 5 8 and 9 show the effect of the disc rotationalspeed on the system vibration for a given brake pressureThe stability of the vibration system was lost at a certainbrake pressure with the decreasing disc rotational speedThisobservation was related to the trend of the friction coefficientversus the speed curve According to (4) the Stribeck frictionmodel curve was actually a transformed exponential curve(Figure 3)The slope of the curve decreased with the decreas-ing disc rotational speed Hence the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreased as thespeed decreased thereby consequently decreasing the totaldamping with the system becoming unstable when the totaldamping is negative

4 Dynamometer Tests

The abovementioned assertion that the stability of a fixed-caliper brake system decreases with an increasing brakepressure and a decreasing disc rotational speed was based ona numerical investigation using a vibration model Anappropriate fixed-caliper disc brake was used to conducta dynamometer test using the standard SAE J2521 testprocedure and validate the numerical findings

The test data presented in Figure 10 were obtained fromthree stops along the corresponding drag cycles using thesame initial brake temperature condition as prescribed inSection 3 Module 4 of SAE J2521 A brake squeal with a fre-quency of 11100Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) of 83 dBwas observed at a drag speed of 3 kmh and a brake pressureof 15MPa However no squeal was observed and themaximum sound pressure level was 57 dB when the brakepressure was decreased to 10MPa or the drag speed wasincreased to 10 kmh This finding indicated that the proba-bility of brake noise generation decreased with the decreasingbrake pressure and the increasing brake speed Figure 11shows the SPL data for all the stops prescribed in Section 3Module 4 of SAE J2521 which substantiates the abovemen-tioned observations on the brake noise occurrence

Figure 12 Brake noise during the deceleration braking process

The effects of the disc rotational speed on the brake noisewere not only investigated in the drag section of thedynamometer test but also in the deceleration sectionFigure 12 shows the complete brake noise spectrum for theninth stop prescribed in Section 7 Module 7 of SAE J2521The disc was forced-braked from 50 kmh to rest under abrake pressure of 2MPa at this stop The figure showed nonoise at the beginning of the braking process However thebrake noise with an 11000Hz frequency was generated in thefinal stage of the process as the rotation speed of the discdecreased with time

5 Conclusion

This study developed a 7-DOF vibration model of a fixed-caliper disc brake based on the Stribeck effect The eigen-values of the corresponding Jacobian matrix were calculatedto analyze the system stability Furthermore the accelerationtime history diagrams and the phase plots of each DOF in thevibration system were obtained by solving the systemequations revealing regular relationships among the brakepressure disc rotational speed and generated noise Thedynamometer tests were used to determine the systemparameters and verify the numerical analysis results Themain conclusions drawn from the findings of the study areas follows

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 13

(1) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the increasing brake pressure because the veloc-ity feedback causes a negative equivalent dampingwhich increases with the increasing brake pressure

(2) The probability of brake noise generation increaseswith the decreasing disc rotational speed becausethe slope of the curve decreases with the decreasingdisc rotational speed and the negative equivalentdamping caused by the velocity feedback decreasesas the speed decreases which also decreases the totalsystem damping

(3) The 7-DOF brake vibration model based on theStribeck effect can be used to design and investigatethe brake system parameters because its brake noisepredictions agree well with the dynamometer testresults
