Abstract

This paper provides the finite element modeling for describing the nonlinear stick-slip response of squealing modes in a disc brake system. The analytical nonlinear contact kinematics is applied to each contact node of the finite element disc and pads. Numerical results show that a portion of the contact area can undergo the stick-slip oscillation. Depending on the size of the stick-slip zone, the corresponding squeal vibration can be either the pure harmonic or periodic oscillation. Particularly, the squeal mode arising from the pad rigid mode generates the periodic stick-slip limit cycle in its steady-squealing response, as opposed that the disc squeal modes become the pure harmonic response.
