“…Hwang and Park [13] calculated the judder sensitivity on the basis of design sensitivity analysis. Boulahbal [14] presented a unified framework for addressing NVH-related issues attributed to tyre uniformity and brake rotor DTV. Some researchers also investigated the thermal brake judder, analysed the mechanism of hot brake judder, and presented various measures to reduce thermal brake judder [15,16].…”

In order to understand the brake judder of a passenger car, the brake judder test of a passenger car was performed with initial speeds of 90, 120, and 150 km/h, end speed of 20 km/h, and pedal forces of 25, 30, 35, and 40 N on a roller dynamometer in a semi-anechoic chamber. The pressure fluctuation of the brake fluid pipe was presented. The accelerations of the steering wheel were recorded at vertical, lateral, and radial directions respectively, and the frequency analysis of the brake judder was also performed. The frequency response functions of the steering system were measured in order to understand the cause of the brake judder. Meanwhile, the multibody system dynamics model of the test vehicle was created with a flexible body and steering system. The brake torque calculated with the brake fluid pressure of the brake pipe in the brake judder test was exerted on the brake systems. The simulated accelerations of the steering wheel were calculated at three different directions, and the frequency analysis of the brake judder was also presented. The design of experiment was presented in order to reduce the brake judder and improve the comfort of the vehicle. An orthogonal array table was designed with 13 factors and 3 levels. The optimum combination was confirmed. The brake judder was also simulated, and the accelerations of the steering wheel were also calculated. Furthermore, the optimization results were verified by the brake judder test. The verification of the optimization indicates that the optimization results are correct and effective.
