A Method for Quantifying Automobile Brake Creep Groan Intensity Based on Friction-Induced Vibration and Noise by Lijun Zhang, Jianfeng Wu, Dejian Meng

“…This vibration mode occurs when continuously maintaining a low brake oil pressure or slowly releasing the force exerted on the brake pedal during the vehicle low-speed starting process, the velocity-displacement phase-plane portrait of which shows a stable limit cycle of stick-slip motion. Analytically, four vibration indexes and four noise indexes are established to evaluate the intensity of creep groan, the validity of which is verified by linear regression analysis. …”
