This paper presents the effects of brake lining thickness due to wear on drum brake squeal. Brake lining will be worn out and subsequently its thickness will be reduced after a few number of braking applications. Hence dynamic properties of the lining, such as its natural frequency, might be changed. In this work, two different sets of brake lining, i.e., new and worn lining are used to investigate its effect on squeal generation. First, modal testing is performed to determine natural frequencies of those brake linings at free-free boundary condition. Later, squeal tests are carried out using brake dynamometer and squeal frequency is measured up to 10 kHz. Several squeal results are plotted over brake operating conditions to observe the influence of different lining thickness. In addition to these, squeal mechanisms, i.e., modal coupling due to closeness of the natural frequency between drum brake components and negative damping due to negative friction-velocity slope that contribute to the squeal generation are also investigated and discussed.Keywords

Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) of motor vehicles has been an active research topic for so long not only due to increasing demand for better quality in vehicle design but also due to stringent noise pollution regulation imposed by the relevant authorities. As such vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers are facing a formidable challenge to tackle this NVH issue. When a vehicle and its components do not meet specified NVH targets and standards it could results in huge loss in the marketplace and more devastating it will also bring down together the brand image- Disc Brake Squeal Suppression through Chamfered and Slotted Pad

For decades, it has been a challenging task for brake engineers to reduce or totally eliminate squeal that emanates from brake systems. Despite the large number of proposals that have been implemented in tackling disc brake squeal, very few solutions are totally effective to reduce or suppress it. This paper presents an approach to tackle disc brake squeal through chamfered and slotted pad. A three-dimensional FE model of an actual disc brake system is developed. The baseline FE model is first simulated using complex eigenvalue and transient analysis to predict squeal and compared to the squeal tests data obtained in the brake dynamometer. A reasonable correlation is found between these results. Then, three different pad modifications are proposed, simulated and tested. It is shown that pad with chamfers and diagonal slot can totally suppress squeal both in prediction and squeal test.Keywords
