Investigation of brake squeal and the influence of the abutment faces

چکیده
This paper demonstrates the influence of the trailing end of the piston, or inboard, pad on the propensity of a brake to generate audible squeal. The unique technique was employed to measure the dynamic centre of pressure at the pad/disc interface during a normal braking operation. This novel technique uses an embedded pressure sensitive film within the pad. The paper also presents the co-planar analysis of the pad/caliper contact regions and its influence on the position of the disk/pad “Centre of Pressure” (CoP). The analysis shows how the trailing end of the piston pad influences the position of the CoP and goes on to explain why the centre moves as the pad abutment vibrates against the abutment. The paper includes additional work with a 12 piston opposed caliper where the initial CoP may be varied both along the pad and radially. Results show a very definite movement of the centre of pressure as the brake pressure is increased.

The Influence of Friction-Induced Damping and Nonlinear Effects on Brake Squeal Analysis
This paper presents numerical studies of friction-induced instabilities of brake systems using complex mode analysis. The complex eigenvalue extraction is performed at a deformed configuration; thus, nonlinear effects are taken into account in the modal analysis. An example case is used to illustrate the importance of friction-induced damping and nonlinear effects in brake squeal analysis. It i...
متن کاملExperimental analysis on squeal modal instability
In this paper, an experimental analysis performed on a simplified brake apparatus is presented. Brake squeal is a major concern in braking design. During past years a common approach for squeal prediction was the complex eigenvalues analysis. Squeal phenomenon is treated like a dynamic instability. When two modes of the brake system couple at the same frequency, one of them becomes unstable lea...

This paper proposes an approach to investigate the influencing factors of the brake pad on the disc brake squeal by integrating finite element simulations with statistical regression techniques. Complex eigenvalue analysis (CEA) has been widely used to predict unstable frequencies in brake systems models. The finite element model is correlated with experimental modal test. The ‘input-output’ re...

The measurement of brake squeal vibrations is a difficult problem, because the rotating disc does not allow any physical contact with the sample during measurement. The use of accelerometers is difficult and very time consuming. Non-contact scanning techniques (e.g. vibrometers) are widely used for these applications, and although they provide a very high temporal resolution is available, still...
