One type of troublesome friction-induced noise, common in brakes, clutches and mechanical seals, is high frequency chirp or squeal. The frequencies at which these noises and underlying vibrations occur typically range from around 1 kHz to more than 10 kHz. We have found that the essential physical ingredients needed to model this problem are two finite elastic systems coupled by friction and a distributed interfacial contact stiffness, transverse to the direction of sliding. The contact stiffness is associated with the roughness of the sliding surfaces and, sometimes, with the presence of wear particles within the contact. Our approach is to perform an eigenvalue analysis, using finite elements, of pairs of coupled sliding elastic rings. Due to the presence of friction, the stiffness matrix is asymmetric and mode coupling or mode splitting can occur. Typically ten per cent of the first forty or so vibratory modes are potentially unstable. Generally one or two of these appear as instabilities in the actual physical system being modeled. No stick-slip action needs to be invoked and these instabilities can occur with a single constant coefficient of friction.

Squeal noise is generated by an unstable friction-induced vibration in a mechanical structure with friction load. Nonlinear mechanisms like sprag-slip, stick-slip, and negative frictions damping are believed in contributing to generate this kind of noise. However, the prediction of its occurrence still counts on the analysis of complex-linear eigenvalue, which may underpredict the number of unstable vibration modes. The structure also is found to seem to generate squeal noise randomly.  In this paper, nonlinear analysis of a squeal noise is investigated. The study is conducted numerically by a simple two-degree of freedom model and an experimental observation using a circular and slider plate with a friction contact interface. The friction force is modeled as a function cubic nonlinear contact stiffness and nonlinear negative velocity function of friction coefficient. It is found that mode coupling instability will occur if the normal contact stiffness and friction coefficient exceed the bifurcation point to generate a couple-complex conjugate eigenvalue and eigenvector. However, when the system is stated linearly stable, instability still can appear because of increasing the nonlinear contact stiffness and coefficient of friction. The instability is affected significantly by relative velocity and pressing force. Both parameters dynamically change depending on the vibration response of the structure. Furthermore, it is also found the stick-slip phenomenon interacted with mode coupling instability to generate squeal noise. It contributes to supply energy to increase the response caused by instability of mode coupling.

This paper presents a two degree of freedom (2-DOF) stick-slip friction model for studying the effect of contact stiffness on the stability of the system. It is shown that the stability is not only a function of non-linear variation in the friction force provide by stick-slip but also depends on the variation in stiffness of contact due to the formation of friction layers on the surface of the rotor and the brake pad. Parametric studies have been presented to show the effect of variation in coefficient of friction and contact stiffness on the system stability.

A two degrees-of-freedom (2DOFs) single mass-on-belt model is employed to study friction-induced instability due to mode-coupling. Three springs, one representing contact stiffness, the second providing lateral stiffness, and the third providing coupling between tangential and vertical directions, are employed. In the model, mass contact and separation are permitted. Therefore, nonlinearity stems from discontinuity due to dependence of friction force on relative mass-belt velocity and separation of mass-belt contact during oscillation. Eigenvalue analysis is carried out to determine the onset of instability. Within the unstable region, four possible phases that include slip, stick, separation, and overshoot are found as possible modes of oscillation. Piecewise analytical solution is found for each phase of mass motion. Then, numerical analyses are used to investigate the effect of three parameters related to belt velocity, friction coefficient, and normal load on the mass response. It is found that the mass will always experience stick-slip, separation, or both. When separation occurs, mass can overtake the belt causing additional nonlinearity due to friction force reversal. For a given coefficient of friction, the minimum normal load to prevent separation is found proportional to the belt velocity.

The paper presents a mathematical model for analysis of friction between the tool bearing saddle and conductor at CNC lathe. The analysis of longitudinal advance movement laws is performed taking into account the appearance and development of disturbing harmonic forces created by auto-vibrations determined by the interaction between the partial elastic systems of tool and workpiece. The friction force is emphasized as product of two components depending on the sliding speed and on the normal disturbing force. By establishing the dynamic response of the system, when the normal force depends linearly on speed, acceleration and mobile ensemble position, the premises are created for stability analysis of the friction movement, obtaining the limit speeds under which the stick-slip phenomenon occurs. Thus, it is provided for a rational design of CNC lathe elastic structure, in order to improve the surface quality and the dimensional precision.

Abstract In this investigation, a finite element (FE) model was developed to study the third body effects on the fretting wear of Hertzian contacts in the partial slip regime. An FE three-dimensional Hertzian point contact model operating in the presence of spherical third bodies was developed. Both first bodies and third bodies were modeled as elastic–plastic materials. The effect of the third body particles on contact stresses and stick-slip behavior was investigated. The influence of the number of third body particles and material properties including modulus of elasticity, hardening modulus, and yield strength were analyzed. Fretting loops in the presence and absence of wear particles were compared, and the relation between the number of cycles and the hardening process was evaluated. The results indicated that by increasing the number of particles in contact, more load was carried by the wear particles which affect the wear-rate of the material. In addition, due to the high plastic deformation of the debris, the wear particles deformed and took a platelet shape. Local stick-slip behavior over the third body particles was also observed. The results of having wear debris with different material properties than the first bodies indicated that harder wear particles have a higher contact pressure and lower slip at the location of particles which affects the wear-rate.

Dither control is a method of introducing high frequency control efforts into a system to suppress a lower frequency disturbance. One application of dither control is the suppression of automotive brake squeal. Brake squeal is a problem that has plagued the automotive industry for years. Placing a piezoceramic stack actuator in the piston of a floating caliper brake creates an experimental normal dither system. Many theoretical models indicate a reduction in the braking torque due to the normal dither signal. Using a Hertzian contact stiffness model the loss in friction is due to lowering the average normal force. There are also theories that the dither signal eliminates the ‘stick-slip’ oscillation causing an effective decrease in the friction force. Yet another theory indicates that the effective contact area is reduced, lowering the mean coefficient of friction. A particular approach considering a single degree of freedom friction oscillator predicts a maximum friction reduction of 10%, occurring at the primary resonance of the system. This paper will concentrate on validating this claim by experimentally determining braking torque reduction for a variety of dither control signals. Several dither control frequencies were chosen at system resonances, while others were chosen at frequencies most likely to provide control of the system. These frequencies were chosen based on previous squeal suppression research. The results indicate that dither control frequencies at system resonances have a greater impact on the braking system’s performance. In general, dither control reduces braking torque by no more than 2%.

Stick slip is usually considered a phenomenon of bit-rock interaction, but is also often observed in the field with the bit off bottom. In this paper we present a distributed model of a drill string with an along-string Coulomb stiction to investigate the effect of borehole inclination and borehole friction on the incidence of stick-slip. This model is validated with high frequency surface and downhole data and then used to estimate static and dynamic friction. A derivation of the torsional drill string model is shown and includes the along-string Coulomb stiction of the borehole acting on the string and the ‘velocity weakening’ between static and dynamic friction. The relative effects of these two frictions is investigated and the resulting drillstring behavior is presented. To isolate the effect of the along-string friction from the bit-rock interaction, field data from rotational start-ups after a connection (with bit off bottom) is considered. This high frequency surface and downhole data is then used to validate the surface and downhole behavior predicted by the model. The model is shown to have a good match with the surface and downhole behavior of two deviated wellbores for depths ranging from 1500 to 3000 meters. In particular, the model replicates the amplitude and period of the oscillations, in both the topside torque and the downhole RPM, as caused by the along-string stick slip. It is further shown that by using the surface behavior of the drill-string during rotational startup, an estimate of the static and dynamic friction factors along the wellbore can be obtained, even during stick-slip oscillations, if axial tension in the drillstring is considered. This presents a possible method to estimate friction factors in the field when off-bottom stick slip is encountered, and points in the direction of avoiding stick slip through the design of an appropriate torsional start-up procedure without the need of an explicit friction test.
