Dynamics and vibrations in brake systems

Technical brake systems are an established technology for decelerating or limiting movements in numerous machines and vehicles. The braking effect is caused by the friction between the contact partners (e.g. brake pad and brake disk) and leads to an increase in temperature. In practice, however, there are also numerous vibration phenomena in brake systems that manifest themselves as squeaking, creaking or rubbing.

The Laboratory for Machine Dynamics has the know-how and equipment to investigate such phenomena.
