The trend towards lightweight in the automotive industry give rise to new chal- lenges when assessing the influence of material replacements on stick-slip effects. These effects may lead to new acoustic phenomena when aluminium is applied, e.g. coming from the interfaces of the wheel assembly b etween the rim, brake disk hat and the wheel carrier. Detecting the key influencing parameters is an im- p ortant task to avoid undesired noises or wear. Whereas self-excited oscillators were intensively discussed in the last decades, much fewer studies ab out harmon- ically excited systems were published. The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of different parameters on the stick-slip b ehaviour of a harmonically excited oscillator exp osed to friction. Based on a statistical evaluation of huge exp erimental data sets with stick-slip effects, a two-degree-of-freedom mo del for the frictional testing machine is proposed and implemented with several fric- tion models. These models are compared with respect to their ability to fit the measurement data and their computational effort. Numerical parameter studies including a huge amount of different parameter sets are performed to determine the effect of several parameters on the limit cycle of the dynamic system, quan- tified by the number of stops per cycle. The influence of more complex friction laws on the parameter maps are discussed in relation to the published results by Hong and Liu as well as Papangelo and Ciavarella.     «
