Automobiles are subject to many forces using operation. Vibrations from the engine or the road-surface transmit through the vehicle’s chassis and suspension to the most essential mechanical component of the vehicle, the brake system.
In this example, a 14” diameter brake disc from a heavyduty truck was excited using a small hammer to measure the vibration shapes of the rotor. The three-dimensional operational deflection shapes were easily identified and measured using the Vic-3D™ HS Vibration Analysis System. Amplitudes as small as 40 nanometers were measured at a frequency of approximately 2,000 Hz.
