Chapter 1: Brake Squeal Analysis

This example analysis shows how to solve a brake-squeal problem. Three analysis methods are highlighted: linear non-prestressed modal, partial nonlinear perturbed modal, and full nonlinear perturbed modal. The problem demonstrates sliding frictional contact and uses complex eigensolvers to predict unstable modes.

You can also perform this example analysis entirely in the Ansys Mechanical Application. For more information, see Brake-Squeal Analysis in the Mechanical Technology Showcase: Example Problems.
