Abstract

The paper examines in detail four separate models of disc brake squeal. The mathematics of each model are produced together with the underlying mechanism of squeal. The four models are compared one with another to demonstrate their essential features. Examinations of these models showed that two simplifi-ed models can be applied to the disc brake system. These are the cantilever-disc and pin disc models. A double pin-disc model is developed and some stability results are reported
