Abstract
This thesis is concerned about analyse an existing wiper which it is involved carry out finite element analysis of the wiper and experimental modal analysis of the wiper. The wiper is used to remove water from the windshield during raining and it sometimes undergoes excessive vibration where the unnecessary squeal noise is produced. This noise may become a problem for the passengers. FE model is used for stabilityassessment. For a good wiping, it is characterized by a homogeneous disposal of the water, without noise generation and by limiting as much as possible the phenomenon of wear (loss of wiping or noise presence). Beside that, the influence of velocity on glass disc of a wiper rubber blade by water (wet glass and dry glass) will be studied.
