This study focuses on squeal noise prediction for an automotive brake system. For this purpose, a stability study of a finite element model of the brake system is carried out. For the determination of the squeal propensity of a brake system via finite element models, the commonly used approach consists in considering only a friction coefficient at the pad-disc interface. However, numerous other contacts exist in a brake system. In the present study, the influence of several contacts between the caliper, the bracket, the pad and the piston is studied. It turns out that the consideration of these numerous contacts has a real impact on the stability results and can not therefore be neglected. Indeed, a high dispersion of results for the system’s eigenvalues indicating strong modifications of the stability behavior and thus of the squeal propensity is observed when different contact conditions are considered. This study insights the necessity to take into account of all contact conditions during the design process of brake systems.
