RESUMO

Automotive brake systems are very often susceptible to generate high frequency noise as a result of a self excited vibration. This phenomenon is generically nominated brake squeal noise and is the subject of many studies which intend to identify and describe its exciting mechanism and to propose counter measures to avoid its occurrence. One key subject yet to be explored about squeal noise generation is the relation between friction material properties and its occurrence propensity. This work presents the development of an adimentional number obtained by dimensional analysis (Buckingham theorem) capable to relate the squeal noise occurrence with four main properties from the friction composite: abrasive hardness, particle size and concentration and also its compressibility. Experimental results were obtained by testing six different friction material formulations, in which the concentration of abrasive or its hardness or its particle size was altered in order to explore the impact of these variables on the squeal noise occurrence. The noise generation was accessed by testing the friction materials molded to brake pads using a standard disc brake system in an inertial dynamometer under a specially developed test procedure. The obtained results validated the proposed adimentional number (excitation index 2) since was possible to establish a logarithmic equation (R²=0,9) relating it to the squeal noise occurrence verified on the conduced tests. It was also established a relation between the friction coefficient increase, as a function of the sliding speed reduction, with the increase on squeal noise occurrence. A brief investigation about the relevance of the contact stiffness to the vibroacustic behavior of the brake systems was developed, showing that higher values of this property can reduce the squeal noise generation.
