Several state of the art papers and even books on brake vibration and/or noise have been
presented in the literature. Many of them have analytically and sharply accounted for the …

Impact between metallic surfaces is a phenomenon that is ubiquitous in the design and
analysis of mechanical systems. To model this phenomenon, a new formulation for frictional …

Despite substantial research efforts applied to the prediction of brake squeal noise since the
early 20th century, the mechanisms behind its generation are still not fully understood …

Brake squeal has become an increasing concern to the automotive industry because of
warranty costs and the requirement for continued interior vehicle noise reduction. Most …

This study investigates the effects of interfacial wear characteristics on stick-slip vibration
under different normal loads. The results reveal that the amplitude and frequency of stick-slip …

This paper analyzes the bursting oscillations in a system consisting of a double-well
electrical oscillator coupled magnetically to a mobile rigid beam attached to a fixed support …

Abstract Systems constituted by impacting beams and rods of non-negligible mass are often
encountered in many applications of engineering practice. The impact between two rigid …

Gear drives are one of the most common parts in many rotating machinery. When the gear
drive runs under lower torque load, nonlinear effects like gear mesh interruption can occur …

A two-degree-of-freedom mechanical impact oscillator with a clearance is considered.
Pattern types, occurrence and stability domains and bifurcation characteristics of periodic …

We design an electromechanical transducer harvesting system with one-to-one internal
resonance that can emerge a broader spectrum vibrations. The novel harvester is composed …
