Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for predicting disk brake squeal using the Finite Element (FE) method whereby a three-dimensional FE model of a real disk brake is validated at the component and assembly levels, and more importantly through contact analysis. Consideration of real surface topography of the friction material in the contact interface model represents a major advancement. Kinetic friction coefficients are determined from squeal tests. Two different friction characteristics with friction damping are simulated. The predicted results show that the refined contact interface model can improve accuracy of prediction and also reduce the number of redundant unstable frequencies.
