The vibration and noise generated by the boneless wiper-windshield system during its actual operation bother the occupants. Exploring the dynamic characteristics of the boneless wiper-windshield system is a prerequisite for understanding vibration and noise. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of the boneless wiper-windshield system are investigated, and a rigid-flexible coupled multi-body dynamic model matching the real boneless wiper-windshield system is constructed. The friction characteristic of the dynamic model is studied through the wiper test bench experiment. The nonlinear dynamic response of the dynamic model is calculated with the Adams and results of the frictional vibration are well reproduced in real motions. The parallel analysis of the simulation calculation results and the real vehicle test results confirms the validity of the model. The results show that the vibration generation mechanism at the moments before and after the reversal can be explained by the instability of the wiper blades due to the negative friction characteristic. There are differences in the magnitude of the reversal impact force and the moment of reversal at each position of the wiper blade. The effect of the speed-gears on the system vibration is analyzed through the simulation results. The analysis method and simulation results in this article can provide reference for the research on vibration and noise control of boneless wiper systems.
