International audienceBrake Squeal is a friction induced instability phenomenon known to be one of the most annoying noise for drivers. This paper focuses on the mode coupling aspect of brake squeal by means of a multi parametric analysis. The study is based on a Finite Element model of the whole brake corner. A complex eigenvalue analysis is undertaken, with a modal projection technique, to detect the stable and unstable modes. Following this process, the brake stability is assessed as a function of the friction coefficient. The results highlight accurately the modecoupling phenomenon also referred to as coalescence. Then, the emphasis is put on the disc Young modulus variability by launching a numerical design of experiment. Finally, the brake robustness is displayed as functions of the friction coefficient and of the disc Young modulus
