Modelling damping element to reduce disc brake squeal
A disc or drum brake system is very often generating undesirable and annoying squeal noise that can disturb both driver and passengers. In order to prevent or reduce brake squeal noise, structural modifications of brake components, damping layers and active squeal control methods are commonly propos...

A disc or drum brake system is very often generating undesirable and annoying squeal noise that can disturb both driver and passengers.
