With the development of green tribology in the ship** industry, the application of water
lubrication gradually replaces oil lubrication in stern bearings and thrust bearings. In terms …

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 …

In automotive disc-brake squeal, most numerical studies have been focussed on the
prediction of unstable vibration modes in the frequency domain using the complex …

To investigate the mechanism of friction-induced vibration and noise of marine stern tube
bearings, a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) mode-coupling model considering …

Non-stationary effects in the friction-induced dynamics of a two-degree-of-freedom brake
model are examined in this paper. The belt–spring–block model is designed to take into …

Considerable effort is spent in the design and testing of disk brake systems installed in
modern passenger cars. This effort can be reduced if appropriate mathematical–mechanical …

Pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs) are needed for operations such as cleaning and internal
inspection of the natural gas pipelines to facilitate improvement in efficiency and safety …

The transverse vibration of an elastic disc, excited by a preloaded mass–damper–spring
slider dragged around on the disc surface at a constant rotating speed and undergoing in …

This study addresses a fundamental problem of linear friction-induced vibration (FiV), the
intriguing role of dam** on the instability of FiV in the form of mode-coupling. Two well …

A mass–spring–damper slider excited into vibration in a plane by a moving rigid belt through
friction is a major paradigm of friction-induced vibration. This paradigm has two aspects that …
