Experimental Investigation on the Friction-Induced Vibration with Periodic Characteristics in a Running-In Process under Lubrication by Di Sun, Pengfei Xing, Guobin Li, Hongtao Gao, Sifan Yang, Honglin Gao, Hongpeng Zhang

“…The FIV signal with periodic characteristics under lubrication was identified with the help of the squeal signal induced in an oil-free wear experiment and then extracted by the harmonic wavelet packet transform (HWPT). The variation of the FIV signal from running-in wear stage to steady wear stage was studied by its root mean square (RMS) values. …”
