Abstract

This data article comprises raw records to investigate the dynamic behavior of a brake system during controlled braking tests and its squeal characterization through the generation of friction-induced vibration. Experiments have been performed on the laboratory brake setup Friction-Induced Vibration and noisE at Ecole Centrale de Lyon (FIVE@ECL), France.

The data provided include measurements for each component of the brake system (i.e. the acceleration measurements on the two pads and the caliper and the normal displacements of the disc), as well as a complete measurement of sounds and squeal noise in near-field and in far-field during a braking test. Data of the four operational parameters (i.e. the application pressure during braking, the rotating speed of the disc, the motor torque and the temperature close to the pad/disc brake system) are also captured during experiment.

All the results from this data will help researchers and engineers in proper analysis of brake squeal and advanced understanding of links between friction-induced vibration and squeal noise. One of the main original contribution is also to share the data sets to give the opportunity to researchers for testing and validating numerical models of brake system with the proposed data of squeal noise.

The data are divided into two parts as follows:

  • “time.mat” (“time.txt”, respectively) gives the value of the instant acquisition time between 0 s and 20 s in the matlab format (ASCII format, respectively),

  • “data.mat” (“data.txt”, respectively) gives the vibrational and acoustic measurements as well as the evolutions of operational parameters during the braking test in the matlab format (ASCII format, respectively). Each column describes a channel measurement component produced for a specific acquisition time. Descriptions of the columns headings are provided in Table 1.

The general description and characteristics of the laboratory brake system as well as the experimental set-up methodology are fully described on the article [1].

The following paragraph briefly describes the vibrational and acoustic measurements in link with the provided dataset.

Considering more specifically the vibrational measurements, the complete list of the experimental device is as follows:

  • Four miniature triaxial Integrated Electronic Piezo-electric (IEPE) accelerometers on the two pads (ref. Bruël & Kjaer Miniature Triaxial DeltaTron@Accelerometer - Type 4520);

  • One miniature triaxial Integrated Electronic Piezo-electric (IEPE) accelerometers placed on the brake caliper (ref. Bruël & Kjaer Miniature Triaxial DeltaTron@Accelerometer - Type 4520);

  • Four proximitor sensors to perform non-contact measurement on the rotational disc (ref. Bently Nevada 3300 XL NSv).

Considering more specifically the acoustic measurements, the complete list of the experimental device is as follows:

  • One antenna, composed of thirteen microphones, and placed in front of the brake system to perform measurements in far-field in the direction normal to the brake system (ref. Bruël & Kjaer 20 kHz Prevision Array Microphone - Type 4958);

  • two microphones placed close to the brake system to perform measurements in near-field (ref. Bruël & Kjaer 20 kHz Prevision Array Microphone - Type 4958).

Finally, four operational parameters can be captured during experiment: the application pressure during braking, the rotating speed of the disc, the motor torque and the temperature close to the pad/disc brake system.

2. Experimental design, materials, and methods

The methodology to produce the data here presented is fully described on the article [1]. The following paragraph briefly describes the experimental protocol. The controlled braking test process is performed a time interval of 20 s as follows:

  • Phase 1 for t = [0;3.1]s: the brake system runs at a constant rotational speed of 203 rpm without braking. This first phase allows identifying the initial test control level without braking.

  • Phase 2 for t = [3.1;6.7]s: a rise in brake pressure is achieved up to a final constant value of 9.2 bars. This second phase corresponds to a transient braking behavior before the controlled braking test.

  • Phase 3 for t = [6.7;20]s: the controlled braking test with the stabilization of the rotational speed at 203 rpm is operational. Squeal characteristics based on vibrational and acoustics measurements can be performed on this last phase.

The time evolutions of the four operational parameters (i.e. the speed rotation of the disc, the motor torque, the brake pressure and the temperature) during the three phases are available in Fig. 6 of [1].

This data article comprises raw records for t = [0;20]s in order to investigate the dynamic behavior of a brake system during the three phases of the controlled braking test and its squeal characterization through the generation of friction-induced vibration.

All results from this raw records are analyzed and discussed in [1] for brake squeal characterization through the generation of friction-induced vibration and noise.
