Influence of vanes shape on the high frequency noise of ventilated disc brakes in heavy vehicles

Abstract

Brake is a device for slowing or stopping the vehicle. The sound that occursin the process of braking is very irritating for the driver. Brake systems of road vehicles as important factor in overall vehicle noise have attracted great attention. All global brake system manufactures are focused to the quieter brakes. This paper presents an analysis of differentially variants of brake disc, and how the structure itself influencing the occurrence of noise. The weight of analyzed discs is approximately equal to each other. The analysis was performed in the software package ANSYS, while the model was created in CATIA.
