In this paper, the onset of the dynamic instability in a .oating caliper disc brake system is studied. The disc is modelled as a .exible rotating plate, the pad is taken as a small mass and a distributed sti.ness, and the motion of the caliper is also taken into consideration. The linearized equations of motion about the equilibrium position are derived assuming a constant braking force. The equations are subsequently discretized with the help of appropriate shape functions. The eigenvalue problem is then solved to detect the onset of instability. The effects of damping on the stability of motion are investigated as well.
