Abstract
Brake squeal is mostly considered as a comfort problem only but there are cases in which self-excited vibrations of the brake system not only cause an audible noise but also result in safety-relevant failures of the system. In particular this can occur if lightweight design rims having very low damping are used. Considering the special conditions of lightweight design rims, a minimal model for safety-relevant self-excited vibrations of brake systems is presented. It is shown that most of the knowledge emanated from investigations of the comfort problem can be used to understand and avoid safety-relevant failures of the brake system.
