Abstract

A variety of components and systems in a vehicle are involved in brake judder. Up to the present, many papers have explored the roles of the brake and the suspension in judder, but only a few have taken up the analysis of the vibration behavior of transfer systems, such as the steering system, sub frame and body, from the viewpoint of their impact on brake judder. This study employed bench tests to reproduce driving conditions. In order to analyze the transfer system, vibration of the entire vehicle was measured and behavior analysis was performed by visualization of vibration phenomena. Much was learned about the vibration behavior of the steering system, sub frame and body, and the basic mechanism of brake judder involving the entire vehicle was clarified. In addition, this report will give examples of analysis of the influential factors in the transfer system.
