Outline
3 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
Introduction• The goal is to simulate brakesquealing by performing a complex modal analysis in ANSYS Workbench. The modal analysis is based on a static prestressed initial status (Brake pressure, contact brake disc-brake pad closed) with a given frictional coefficient. It determines apart from the eigenfrequencies the damping ratio for each mode as a criterion for stability and squealing.
• The basic of the ANSYS FE-model is a parametric CAD model. Model details (screws, couplings, bearing stiffnesses, and material properties, etc.) shall be provided as well.
• Upon the ANSYS simulation model a robustness analysis in optiSLang is perfomed in order to determine the parameters that have a significant influence on the complex eigenfrequencies and the damping ratio.

How can we measure brake squealing?• Example test setup (McDaniel1999):• Measurement by laser scanning vibrometer
Brake system, consisting of a brake rotor (“Bremsscheibe”) mounted to a stationary shaft with an attached pad (“Bremsbelag”) and caliper (“Bremssattel”).

6 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
Introduction
• The vibrational instabilities that produce brake squeal have been studied for over fifty years.
• The sound produced by squealing brakes is a top concern of most automotive companies due to the annoyance it causes to the customer and the high cost of mitigating squeal for vehicles still under warrantee.
• 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.
7 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• Automobile brakes can generate several kinds of noises. Among them is squeal, a noise in the 1-12kHz range. It is commonly accepted that brake squeal is initiated by instability due to the friction forces, leading to self-excited vibrations.
• 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.
Introduction
8 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
Introduction• Brake squealing is a complex (damped and/or unsymmetric) eigenvalue
problem.
• 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.

Robustness analysis in optiSLang
44
30
• Analysis models become increasingly detailed
• Numerical procedures become more and more complex
• Substantially more precise data are required for the analysis
• Deterministic optimum design is frequently pushed to the design space boundary
• Optimized designs lead to high imperfection sensitivities
• Optimized designs tend to loose robustness
Why performing robustness analysis
31
• Intuitively: The performance of a robust design is largely unaffected by random perturbations
• Variance indicator: The coefficient of variation (CV) of the objective function and/or constraint values is smaller than the CV of the input variables
• Sigma level: The interval mean+/- sigma level does not reach an undesired performance (e.g. design for six-sigma)
• Probability indicator: The probability of reaching undesired performance is smaller than an acceptable value
How to define robustness of a design
32 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
Statistical Measures
• Evaluation of robustness with statistical measures
• Variation analysis (histogram, coefficient of variation, standard variation, distribution fit, probabilities)
• Correlation analysis (linear, quadratic, nonlinear) including principal component analysis
• Evaluation of coefficients of determination (CoD), coefficient of importance (CoI) and Coefficient of Prognosis (CoP)

• The Correlation Matrix indicates that only some of the varied parameters had a significant influence on the result.
• optiSlang was able to extract results for the 2nd to 5th frequency and 1st to 5th damping ratio.
Simple brake example
60 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• Regarding the frequencies, we can see three significant peaks.• The first significant sqealing point is about 3 kHz, the second
about 5000 kHz and a third area is about 6 kHz.
Simple brake example
61 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• The damping ratio at 3 kHz is influenced bythe disc radius and the disc thickness.
• The bigger the radius and the thicknessare, the smaller is the damping ratio.
Simple brake example
62 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• The damping ratio at 5 kHz is influenced bythe disc radius and the disc thickness.
• The bigger the radius and the thicknessare, the smaller is the damping ratio.
• The maximum occuring damping ratio is higher than at 3 kHz (1.87 % vs. 1.3%)
• The CoP is low
Simple brake example
63 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• The damping ratio at 3 kHz is influenced bythe disc radius and the pad thickness.
• The bigger the radius and the thinner the pad thickness is, the smaller is the damping ratio.
• The maximum damping ratio is about 3.4%• The CoP is very low.
Simple brake example
64 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• Regarding the signal data, it is clear that there are three ranges where squealing can occour. They are about 3, 5 and 6.5 kHz.
• The higher the frequency is, the higher is the occuring damping ratio.
• Even the variation of the input variables is only 5%, the squealing frequencies change significantly the higher the frequency is.
Simple brake example
65 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• The robustness analysis of this simple brake example leads to the following result:• Although the variation of the input parameters is rather small,
the variation of the squealing frequencies is very high.
• The disc radius and disc thickness are the most important variables in this system.
• The instable frequencies move quite widely
Simple brake example
66 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• Why are the CoPs so low?• The CoPs of second and especially third damping ratio is
extremely low! (20% and 5%)• The reason can be seen in the signal plot.• The APDL Macro extracts the first, second, third,… instable mode
but this does not take care on any modenumber etc.• To make a check, it is now recommended to define frequency
windows in which we will extract the peaks!
Simple brake example
67 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• There are three frequency windows to define:1.) 2500…3000 Hz2.) 4600…5000 Hz3.) 6600…7200 Hz

• Now click again on „Add Signal Function“, enter a reasonable name and click into the function part.
• Chose the appropiate signal function for extracting the abscissa value of a peak value in a certain window.
• This function is SIG_MAX_X_SLOT• Choose the signal damping ratio and enter the window borders.• Repeat this for the other two frequency windows.
Simple brake example
72 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• Check in the end the correct definitionof the signal functions
• Save and close the parametrization.
Simple brake example
73 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• To get these new results, it is now necessary to start an optiSLang revlauation run.
• Choose the robustness folder as directory for revaluation run.• Choose the just defined parametrization .pro file as specification.• Start the revaluation.
Simple brake example
74 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• Just after the revaluation, run again the MoP flow and start thepostprocessing.
• The correlation matrix indicates that this extraction leads to a better explainability of the damping ratio.
• The cooling radius has nowa bigger influence on the resultsof the damping ratio andfrequency.
Simple brake example
75 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• The peak in the frequency range 2500 … 3000 Hz is still most influenced by the disc radius and the disc thickness.
• The third important parameter here is the cooling radius
Simple brake example
76 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• The CoP of the peak in the second frequency range is much higher than in the first run. It is now 42% instead of 26%
• The damping ratio is still most influenced by the disc radius but the second important variable is now the cooling radius
Simple brake example
77 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• The CoP of the peak in the third frequency range is much higher than in the first run. It is now 47% instead of 5%
• The damping ratio is still most influenced by the disc radius but the second important variable is now the cooling radius
Simple brake example
78 Tutorial: Complex Modal Analysis – brake squeal analysis
• Regarding peaks in a certain frequency window leads to a better explainability than regarding only the first/second/third/… instable mode.
• Taking the frequency windows, the results become much more reliable.
• This is usually the method of choice to extract results from modal analyseses.
• The reason is that a real mode tracking is much more complicated to include, so a frequency window is much more easy to implement.
• Also the important parameters can change, e.g. here, the cooling radius becomes important in the second way of extracting the results.
