Disc brake squeal remains an elusive problem in the automotive industry. Since the early
20th century, many investigators have examined the problem with experimental, analytical …

Brake squeal, which usually falls in the frequency range between 1 and 16 kHz, has been
one of the most difficult concerns associated with automotive brake systems since their …

The tribological contact in automotive brakes involves dry sliding contact at high speeds and
high contact forces. The commonly used organic binder-type brake pad friction materials are …

This article presents an overview of the acoustics of friction by covering friction sounds,
friction-induced vibrations and waves in solids, and descriptions of other frictional …

The automotive industry faces many challenges, including increased global competition, the
need for higher-performance vehicles, a reduction in costs and tighter environmental and …

A brake lining containing 16 ingredients was investigated to study the effect of ingredients
on various aspects of friction properties. The composite was developed for a non-asbestos …

Brake experiments were conducted on a typical kind of friction blocks of a high-speed train.
The friction and wear, interfacial temperature, vibration, and noise generated at or by the …

Newly found evidence on the negative slope of the friction-velocity curve is described in
terms of the contact area on the surface of brake friction materials. The tribotests were …

Nowadays, natural fibres composites are widely investigated and acknowledged as
materials which minimise carbon dioxide produced in all phases of their interaction with …

Brake noise is an example of noise caused by vibrations induced by friction forces. During
brake operation, the friction between the pad and the disc can induce a dynamic instability in …
