An Investigation Into Condition Monitoring of Stick Slip Motion

The effect of stick-slip and its associated acoustic and vibration output has been studied for a specimen of commercial brake material.The stick slip motion is described and details of how the parameters of torque, velocity and friction are controlled is given._The aim of the study is to show how the material behaves under sustained stick-slip motion.In order to achieve this end the vibration and acoustic output resulting from the stick-slip together with the surface changes detected by taly surf were studied. INTitonucrIonStick-slip motion has already been described for various materials combinations in [1-6] but a brief description will be given here for completeness.
