Wiper Systems with Flexible Structures - Instabilities Analysis and Correlation with a Theoretical Model
Résumé
Optimizing the wiper system efficiency motivates the design engineer to create a product as robust as possible against the occurrence of wipe defects that are related to vibratory phenomena between the rubber blade and the windshield, as they could generate visual or audible annoyance for the driver. The difficulty is that these phenomena only appear under specific operating and environmental conditions, such as windshield moisture and cleanness, contact pressure of the rubber blade on the glass, attack angle of the wiper blade on the windshield, windshield curvature etc. In order to eliminate all the potential instabilities it is interesting to understand the working dynamic of the wiper system and to model it. So a new tool is developed to allow predictive tendency to instabilities such as judder or chatter.
