Results (McDaniel1999)
• Magnitude of normal velocity
produced by a shaker on the
rotor and measured by a
scanning LDV (Laser Doppler
Vibrometer) for modes n=1-4
and 70 psi pad pressure.
• Lighter regions represent
larger velocity magnitudes.
• The vibrational instabilities that produce brake squeal have been studied
for over fifty years.
• With a focus the theory of mode coupling instability, we will see how to
solve break applications by ANSYS QRDAMP or ANSYS UNSYM complex
modal analysis.
• To predict the onset of instability, you can perform a modal analysis of the
prestressed structure. An unsymmetric stiffness matrix is a result of the
friction coupling between the brake pad and disk; this may lead to complex
eigenfrequencies. If the real part of the complex frequency is positive, then
the system is unstable as the vibrations grow exponentially over time.
• The eigenvalues (i.e., frequencies) will have real and imaginary parts if
damping [C] and/or an unsymmetric [K] matrix are present. The
imaginary component reflects the damped frequency. The real component
indicates whether or not the mode is stable – unstable modes will have a
large, positive real eigenvalue.
• The eigenvectors will also be complex in either case. The real and
imaginary eigenvectors represent the ‘motion’ of the mode shape – if the
imaginary eigenvector is non-zero, this means that a phase difference is
present, analogous to harmonic analysis output.
• In brake squeal analyses (in the kHz range), the effect of the coefficient of
friction MP,MU (as well as other parameters) can be varied to see the
effects on different modes and the coupling between modes. This can help
to determine which modes (frequencies) will be unstable and a source of
audible discomfort.
Postprocessing:
extrction of the damped eigenfrequencies with the damping ratio
and define them as output parameter „mypar_“.

• The disc radius and disc thickness are the most important
variables in this system.

• Also the important parameters can change, e.g. here, the cooling
radius becomes important in the second way of extracting the
results.
