Time-Domain Explicit Dynamic CAE Simulation for Brake Squeal

Abstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Disc brake squeal is always a challenging multidisciplinary problem in vehicle noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) that has been extensively researched. Theoretical analysis has been done to understand the mechanism of disc brake squeal due to small disturbances. Most studies have used linear modal approaches for the harmonic vibration of large models. However, time-domain approaches have been limited, as they are restricted to specific friction models and vibration patterns and are computationally expensive. This research aims to use a time-domain approach to improve the modeling of brake squeal, as it is a dynamic instability issue with a time-dependent friction force. The time-domain approach has been successfully demonstrated through examples and data.</div></div>
