This study proposes a three-layer brake pad design, on which a six-DOF dynamic model of brake disc-brake pad is established, and the factors affecting the system instability are analyzed. The analysis shows that the change of mass and stiffness of the brake pad will affect the stability of the system. From the linear complex eigenvalue analysis, the unstable vibration modes of the brake system are predicted, and the effectiveness of the complex mode analysis model is verified by the brake system bench test. Brake pads with different structural shapes are designed, and their influence on the stability of the brake system is analyzed. The results show that the design of the three-layer structure and the slotting design of the brake pad can effectively reduce the occurrence of the brake squeal, especially that of the high-frequency squeal noise.

Abstract The dynamics of a nonlinear car disc brake model is investigated and compared with a simplified linear model. The rotating brake disc is approximated by a rotating ring. The brake pad is modeled as a point mass which is in contact with the rotating ring and visco-elastically suspended in axial and circumferential direction. The stability analysis for the nonlinear model is performed by a numerical evaluation of the top Lyapunov-exponent. Several parameter studies for the nonlinear model are discussed. It is shown that dynamic instabilities of the nonlinear model are estimated at subcritical rotating speeds lower than 10% of the critical speed. Further, the sensitivity of the nonlinear model to the initial conditions and the stiffness ratios is demonstrated.

The simulation calculation on the temperature field of the disc brake system on high-speed trains under the working condition of constant speed at 50Km/h is made. A steady-state calculation model is established according to the actual geometric size of a brake disc and a brake pad, and the analog calculation and simulation on the temperature field of the brake disc and the brake pad by using the large-scale nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS are carried out. The distribution rules of the temperature field of the brake disc and the brake pad under the working condition of constant speed are made known. The surface temperature of the brake disc at friction radius is the highest, with a band distribution for temperature. There exists a temperature flex point in the direction of thickness, of which the thickness occupies 15% of that of the brake disc; due to the small volume of the brake pad, the temperature gradient of the whole brake pad is not sharp, and larger temperature gradient occurs only on the contact surface.

This paper deals with the development of a numerical model, based on the Finite Element (FE) theory for the prediction of the squeal frequency of a railway disc brake. The analytical background has been discussed and presented, as well as the most efficient methods for evaluating the system stability; the attention has been paid particularly to the complex eigenvalues method, which has been adopted within this paper to investigate the railway disc brake system. Numerical results have been compared with measurements from experimental tests in order to validate the proposed numerical approach. At the end of this work, a sensitivity analysis, aimed at understanding the effects of some physical parameters influencing the stability of the brake system and the squeal propensity, has been carried out.

For the serious and uneven wear of the brake pad in the high-power disc brake during braking, the dynamic variation of the brake disc and the brake pad interface variable is considered, the wear calculation model is established based on the friction and wear mechanism, and the wear depth and volume of the brake pad can be calculated by equations. A finite element model of the brake disc and the brake pad is established by DEFORM software which can analyze wear of the brake pad directly. The variation trend of wear during braking is studied, and influences of braking load and initial braking speed on the wear are analyzed. The results show that the amount of the wear increases rapidly in the early wear stage of braking, and it becomes slow in the later stage; the wear of the brake pad is serious at the friction inlet and outlet, and the middle area of the brake pad is lightly worn; heavy braking load and high initial braking speed can exacerbate the wear of the brake pad.

The connection of two phenomena, nonconservative friction forces and dissipation-induced instability, can lead to many interesting engineering problems. We study the general material-dependent damping influence on the dynamic instability of disc brake systems leading to brake squeal. The effect of general damping is demonstrated on minimal and complex models of a disc brake. Experimental analyses through the frequency response function (FRF) show different damping of the brake system coalescent modes, indicating possible dissipation-induced instability. A complex system including material-dependent damping is defined in commercial finite element (FE) software. A FE model validated by experimental data on the brake-disc test bench is used to compute the influence of a pad and disc damping variations on the system stability using complexe igenvalue analysis (CEVA). Numerical analyses show a significant sensitivity of the experimentally verified unstable mode of the system to the ratio of the damping between the disc and the friction material components.

This study aims to determine the effect of brake pads material to the vibration response of disc brake system on many variety of braking conditions. The variations of brake pads material on this research such as metallic, non-asbes and ceramic. The variations of braking operation such as speed of disc rotation and braking pressure. Each brake pads material tested by variation of disc rotation 425, 637, 850, 1062 rpm and pressure variation 0,5 bar, 1 bar, 1,5 bar. Furthermore, the dynamic characteristics of brake pad had been tested by using the method of Modal Analysis Experiment. The results showed that the type of brake pad materials, disc rotation and braking pressure affect to vibration response of disc brake system. Increasing speed of disc rotation and braking pressure will increase the excitation force causing value amplitude of vibration in the braking system increases. Usage of brake pad ceramic also showed the lowest amplitude of vibration for all variations of disc rotation and braking pressure. Because the ceramic brake pad have the lowest natural frequency, then the value of the damping ratio is high, so that decreasing amplitude of vibration that occurs in the braking system.

Abstract The squeal noise arising due to friction-induced vibrations in brakes continues to be a major challenge for automotive manufacturers. To predict one of the mechanisms behind disc brake squeal, an analytical model is developed for the disc brake system. The brake rotor is represented by a thin plate of equivalent modal characteristics and the backing plates are modeled as thin annular sector plates using Rayleigh-Ritz approach. The two structural models are then coupled using linear elastic springs and Coulomb friction at the interface, and Lagrangian approach is used to derive the equations of motion of the coupled system. The resulting linear equations are solved by using complex eigenvalue analysis. The study shows that squeal is a flutter-type instability caused by coupling between the modes of structural components with very close natural frequencies. The sensitivity to friction material stiffness and the influence of hydraulic cylinder stiffness at backing plates are also discussed.

A new elastic disc brake pad device is designed. A mathematical model on railway vehicle elastic disc brake is established compared with the non-elastic brake pad by uni-wheel set braking simulation. The simulation results show that the elastic brake pad could guarantee the vehicle braking performance as same as the non-elastic brake pad. When the friction surface of the brake disc or pad has defects, the elastic brake pad can effectively reduce the vibration of the friction force between the brake pad and the brake disc. It has been proved that the correctness and rationality of the design. A new idea for the design and analysis of the disc brake system is provides.
