Brake judder affects vehicle safety and comfort, making it a key area of research in brake NVH. Transfer path analysis is effective for analyzing and reducing brake judder. However, current studies mainly focus on passenger cars, with limited investigation into commercial vehicles. The complex chassis structures of commercial vehicles involve multiple transfer paths, resulting in extensive data and testing challenges. This hinders the analysis and suppression of brake judder using transfer path analysis. In this study, we propose a simulation-based method to investigate brake judder transfer paths in commercial vehicles. Firstly, road tests were conducted to investigate the brake judder of commercial vehicles. Time-domain analysis, order characteristics analysis, and transfer function analysis between components were performed.

In view of the vibration and noise problem in the electric drive system, the vibration characteristics of its high-speed reducer are analyzed and studied. Through the vibration and noise bench test of the integrated electric drive system, the contribution of high-speed reducer gear meshing order vibration noise to the vibration noise of the electric drive system was studied. A rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model of high-speed reducer was established, and the accuracy of the model was verified. At the same time, based on the gear modification theory, the effects of different gear modification parameters on the peak-to-peak value of high-speed reducer gear transmission error, the amplitude of each order harmonic of the transmission error, and the vibration acceleration response of the high-speed reducer shell surface were studied. Genetic algorithm was used to optimize the gear modification parameters, and the optimization method was simulated and verified.

It is a worldwide technical difficulty to predict brake squeal uncertainty and its propagation regularity due to key parameters’ randomcity. However, as a widely used stochastic finite element method, Monte Carlo Method costs a large amount of time in calculation. It is very important to establish a fast prediction method for brake squeal uncertainty due to key parameters. In this paper, perturbation concept was applied for disc brake squeal uncertainty prediction. Firstly, a simplified, parameterized finite element model of disc brake was established for complex eigenvalues calculation. Then sensitivity analysis of real parts and frequencies of complex eigenvalues to influence parameters was carried out based on the finite element model. A series of second order perturbation polynomial formulas were fitted from the sensitivity analysis results, which were used for calculation of uncertain complex eigenvalues.
