A brake durability experimental method is proposed to simulate a brake durability vehicle road test. Brake judder and noise often occur in brake durability road testing. Brake judder is difficult to address because of its many potential causes, such as assembly run out, component stiffness, lining characteristics, thermal coning/hot spot/thermal instability and corrosion. There are currently several test procedures to predict brake thermal roughness and pad cleaning corrosion performance for preventing brake judder. Brake durability vehicle road testing is performed to check brake NVH and wear; examples include the Mojacar test in Spain and the Huangshan test in China. Brake energy intensity and road vibration are the significant factors that cause brake rotor thickness variation, which generates brake judder in public road testing.
