The aim of this paper is to improve the correlation between the experimental and the
numerical prediction of unstable frequencies for automotive brake systems considering …

An enhanced dynamic finite element (FE) model with friction coupling is applied to analyze
the design of disc brake pad structure for squeal noise reduction. The FE model is built-up …

Brake squeal is widely accepted by scientists and engineers as a noise which is caused by
friction-induced vibrations and it frequently occurs at frequency above 1 kHz. It is one of the …

Brake shims, applied to brake pads, are used for suppressing high frequency noise in disc
brake units. Also called brake insulators, they do this mainly by adding more damping to the …

Brake squeal noise has been under investigation by automotive manufacturers for decades
due to consistent customer complaints and high warranty costs. JD Power surveys …
