- Abstract
This paper is concerned with the disc brake squeal problem of passenger cars. The objective of this study is to develop a finite element model of the disc brake assembly in order to improve the understanding of the influence of Young’s modulus on squeal generation. A detailed finite element model of the whole disc brake assembly that integrates the wheel hub and steering knuckle is developed and validated by using experimental modal analysis. Stability analysis of the disc brake assembly is conducted to find unstable frequencies. A parametric study is carried out to look into the effect of changing Young’s modulus of each brake’s components on squeal generation. The simulation results indicate that Young’s modulus of the disc brake components plays an important role in generating the squeal noise.
