Finite Element Analysis for Friction Noise with Respect to the Friction Curve of Several Materials

This study provides the finite-element (FE) squeal-model predicting friction-induced noise with respect to several friction materials that have different friction characteristics. The friction curve and the corresponding friction noise were measured for four friction materials (Cu, Ni, Al, Mg) using the pin-on-disk and reciprocating friction system. The slope of the friction curve linearized at the sliding velocity was applied to the FE model. The unstable modes in the complex eigenvalue analysis were shown to correspond to the squeal frequencies that existed in the experiment
