In this research, the tribological and dynamical characteristics of a brake pad with multiple blocks are investigated using experimental and numerical methods. A dynamometer with a multiblock brake pad configuration on a brake disc is developed and a series of drag-type tests are conducted to study the brake squeal and wear behavior of a high-speed train brake system. Finite element analysis is performed to derive physical explanations for the observed experimental phenomena. The experimental and numerical results show that the rotational speed and braking force have important influences on the brake squeal; the trends of the multiblock and single-block systems are different. In the multiblock brake pad, the different blocks exhibit significantly different magnitudes of contact stresses and vibration accelerations. The blocks located in the inner and outer rings have higher vibration acceleration amplitudes and stronger vibration energies than the blocks located in the middle ring.

Researchers in recent years begin to explore on tribological behavior of automotive brake squeal phenomena which covers the morphology, chemical composition, friction and wear, phase composition and third body or friction film distribution. However less effort has been made to study the tribological on the influence of small particles on brake squeal. During braking condition, both rotor and pads are exposed to road environmental particle which may affect pads surface condition. In order to assess the influence of this particle on brake squeal a series of squeal tests were performed. Silica sand grit particles with a size range between 400 to 200 μm which most available on the road surface were used in this experiment. Brake pad and disc surface characteristics were analyzed before and after squealing condition using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The result shows that the silica sand particles had influence the squeal and surface behavior of the brake pad.

Brake squeal has always been a major NVH problem to many car makers due to significant number of warranty claims. Brake squeal is a high frequency noise (above 1 kHz) emanating from car disc brakes that get excited due to one or more mechanisms such as mode coupling, stick-slip, hammering and sprag-slip. This paper attempts to investigate the effects of brake pad surface topography on squeal generation. Two pairs of a non-asbestos organic (NAO) brake pad will be tested on a brake dynamometer test rig. Surface topography of the brake pad will be analyzed through microscopic techniques using energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and optical microscope.

In this paper, the contact mechanics is applied to analyse the interaction between the striped unit body on the bionic brake drum and the brake pad. The contact stress distribution law of two objects interaction is obtained. According to the stress distribution law the change of the friction and wear of the striped unit body on the brake pad is derived. Considering the change of the surface feature regardless of other factors, the friction wear of the striped unit body on the brake pad has increased by more than 27%. It is found that small convex striped unit bodies are added on the surface of the bionic brake drum, which makes the contact surface between the brake drum and the brake pad no longer the original plane contact. Therefore, the pressure and direction between the contact surfaces are various. Besides, even if the external pressure does not change, the contact normal pressure between the contact surfaces will be increased which increases the friction wear on the brake pad accordingly.
