“…Surrounding these mechanisms, there are several factors as activating force, friction coefficient, 7–9 and contact pressure. 10,11,6,12,13 However, these are affected by paremeters strictly connected with brake components material properties, as Young’s modulus, 14,8,9,15–17,12,18 bending stiffness, and inertial moment. 19,20 Understanding the enviromental 21–23 and health 24,25 consequences of this issue and its urgency, this work aims to propose a method of preview squeal propensity of a drum brake system correlating two main brake material properties, Young’s modulus ( E) and friction coefficient ( μ), with instability parameters through the finite-element method ( F E M) and the complex eigenvalue analysis.…”
