This study presents experimental and analytical results about the influence of brake pad thickness on disk brake squeal. First, we prepared pads with different thickness and experimented on squeals test with the simple system instead of an actual disk brake in order to clarify the influence of brake pad thickness. Second, we studied correlation between dynamic stiffness and brake pad thickness. Finally, we analyzed the mechanism of squeal generation, which is caused by pad stiffness change due to pad thickness change, with Surface-contact model based on the experimental results.
