Abstract: The main part of a brake system, pads and disc, are generally considered as a source of the brake noise. Manufacturing parameters and composition of component materials can affect the final brake lining produced.  In this paper the results of modelling and analysis of brake pad is discussed. A correlation between noise index and compressibility of brake pad is established. A static analysis is performed. Some results are presented that relate the displacement of the top and bottom parts of the brake pad and vibration modes of the lining assembly.

 

Key-Words: brake system, pad displacement, brake squeal.
