Abstract − This study investigates the possibility of reducing squeal noise generated at the contact point between an elastomer and glass by using the properties of a magneto-rheological elastomer (MRE) whose stiffness changes with the application of a magnetic field. Previously, squeal noise was mainly observed in the unstable section caused by the weakening of friction due to velocity. Previous studies have shown that squeal noise decreases as the stiffness increases. Accordingly, this study is conducted to control the unstable area of the fric- tion curve and to reduce the noise by inducing the stiffness change of the MRE by applying a magnetic field.
The friction, vibration, and noise characteristics are measured using a reciprocating friction tester. The frequency ranges of vibration and noise measured with the accelerometer and sound sensor show similar results. When a magnetic field is applied to the MRE, there is significantly lower noise compared with the case without the appli- cation of the magnetic field. The average coefficient of friction decreases with the application of the magnetic field. The maximum coefficient of friction increases rapidly at the turning point and decreases when the magnetic field is applied. This shows that the mechanical properties of the MRE change due to the magnetic field, and the noise and friction coefficient also decrease.

고무와 유리 사이에서 발생하는 스퀼(Squeal) 소음은 스 틱-슬립(Stick-slip) 또는 시스템 불안정성 에 의해 발생 한다. 이러한 현상으로 인한 소음은 기계 시스템에서[1] 큰 문제이며 특히 와이퍼 블레이드 시스템에서 발생하는 스퀼 소음은 운전 간에 운전자의 만족감을 낮추는 원인이 된다.
