As an automobile brake manufacturer, brake noise always been a prime concern as it define the degree of customer satisfaction and warranty claim. Brake squeal is a concern in the automotive industry that has challenged many researchers and engineers for years. In case of disc brake, brake-squeal (1 to 16 kHz) occurrence is predominant than the any other types of brake-noise (i.e. moan, grown, judder etc.), since squeal is a friction induced, self-excited, and self-sustained phenomenon from a nonlinear dynamics viewpoint. Due to the complexities involve squeal mechanism is not well understood yet, hence makes it one of the unresolved brake Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) problem till this date. Since squeal is a high-pitched and tonal noise, therefore it is very annoying and getting more attention by occupants. Brake squeal can occur at any temperature and with or without the presence of humid condition and therefore highly unpredictable.
