This paper deals with analytical methods for low frequency and high frequency brake squeal noise on brake-rear caliper. In order to improve low frequency and high frequency squeal noise, we take survey caliper bracket shape parameters and housing shape parameters. Besides, using the combination of bracket and housing parameter were surveyed. Thus, using the combination of bracket Alt_05 and housing Alt_45 specifications, instability analysis and brake dynamo test were carried out. Based upon the two models, low and high frequency squeal noise of base model were improved. But, for 6.0 kHz frequency noise, which is not improved, it needs to additionally study on instability analysis and combination of the other brake components.

This study numerically simulates brake squeal and validates it experimentally by using a lab-scaled brake dynamometer. The system frequencies of the disc brake are traced with respect to the brake pressure by using a modal test and FEM. Then, the squeal frequencies measured from the brake dynamometer are found to correspond to the brake system mode with the dominant displacement of the caliper and pad. Furthermore, a complex eigenvalue analysis conducted using the finite element model confirms that the caliper mode generating the rotational displacement of the pad becomes unstable owing to the negative friction-velocity slope.

The purpose if this research was to improve the pressure distribution on the disk brake pad Not uniform pressure distribution on the disk brake pad generate the unbalance wear of it and the unbalance wear of disk brake pad generate vibration, noise, heat and reduce the braking capacity. For improve the pressure distribution on the pad in this research, upper face of caliper housing finger was cut. Two kinds of caliper which uncut and cut of finger face were compared the stress distribution by FEM analysis and real experiment. Also natural frequency and deforming displacement ware calculated. It was understood that pressure distribution could Improve by cut inside upper face of caliper housing finger.

The brakes are the most important safety-critical accident avoidance components of a motor vehicle. They must perform safely under a variety of operating conditions and must have enough strength not to fail during the life of a vehicle. Recently, anti-lock brake systems are used on more and more passenger cars. The ABS brakes modulate brake line pressure to prevent brakes from locking during braking. In this study, finite element analysis, material test for FCD45, measurement of stress and cumulative fatigue damage analysis were performed to evaluate fatigue damage of the caliper housing under ABS mode.

In this study, two models due to the configuration of caliper cylinder among the parts of automotive brake system are studied by structural and fatigue analysis. As the maximum equivalent stress at model 2 becomes 1.5 times lower than model 1, model 2 can endure load higher than model 1. In case of fatigue damage analysis on model 1 and 2, model 1 has the damage area more than model 2. Fatigue damage at model 1 happen more than model 2. These study results can be effectively utilized with the design on caliper cylinder by anticipating prevention against its damage and investigating durability.

A scattering dust collector in automobile brake pads was investigated in this study. The dust scattering was measured by mounting a booth with a particle counter for both the vehicle-induced wind and brake caliper locations. In addition, the collection effect of the dust scattering was analyzed using the designed dust collector. The results of this study can be used to develop an advanced dust collector and the field test modes for dust scattering in an automotive brake system.

NTMS(Non-contact Tilted-angle Measuring System) is developed by using the principle that the magnetic field of an anisotropic magnet's inner space is uniform and it's possible to measure the strength of the magnetic field using a linear hall effect sensor. In order to implement the caliper system of the geometry PIG(Pipeline Inspection Gauge) which has high accuracy and proper output voltage of the hall sensor without additional driving module or a signal amplifier, it is necessary to consider the size of the magnet, the inner space and back-yoke and the position of pin-hole in the magnet. So the optimal design method of the caliper system is proposed through analysis of NTMS's magnetic field adopting a FEM(Finite Element Method). The experimental results show that the developed caliper system can be used for the geometry pig with good performances.

A typical disk brake system consists of caliper housing, piston, seal and two pads etc. The configuration of seal groove, dimension of piston and seal, and seal material properties are important ones for brake performance, as these affect the retraction of piston. The rubber seal is designed to perform dual functions of sealing the brake oil at brake-applied and retracting the caliper piston at brake-released. In this paper, the seal stress is analyzed using Finite Element Method and experiment is conducted by Taguchi's Method. We attempt to quantify the critical design factors in the seal groove and evaluate their impact on some of brake performance factors. The investigation obtained from this study can not only enhance the seal groove design optimization, but also reduce product prototype testing and development time.

In this paper, the method and its effectiveness to decrease the uneven wear of the brake pad were proposed. A finite element analysis was performed to analyze the pressure distributions on the contact surfaces. The optimum brake pad shape was determined by a robust design using the Taguchi method. The effectiveness of the optimum design was clarified by the wear tests with a dynamometer.
