Chapter 1: Brake-Squeal Analysis

This example analysis shows how to solve a brake-squeal problem using the Ansys Mechanical Application. To see this example solved using Ansys Mechanical APDL see Brake Squeal Analysis in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems.

Two analysis methods are highlighted: linear non-prestressed modal and full nonlinear perturbed modal. The problem demonstrates sliding frictional contact and uses complex eigensolvers to predict unstable modes.
