In order to investigate the mechanism of brake squeal noise, the sound and vibration of an actua1 brake system were measured using a brake dynamometer. The experimental results show that disc run-out varies with brake line pressure and the factor of squeal generation is the run-out due to the misalignment of brake disk. A three degrees of freedom friction model is developed for the disk brake system where the run-out effect and nonlinear friction characteristic are considered. The results of numerical analysis of the model agree well with the experimental results. Also, the stability analysis of the model was performed to predict the generation of brake squeal due to the design parameter modification of brake systems. The results show that the squeal generation depends on the nm-out rather than the friction characteristic between the pad and the disk of brake.
