“…Several types of analyses have been performed on disc brake systems through FEA, in an attempt to understand the problem of noise and develop a predictive design tool. There are two numerical methods that are used to study this problem namely; transient dynamic analysis (Nouby et al, 2011;Hu et al, 1999) and complex eigenvalue analysis (Kung et al, 2000;Abdo et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2007;Abu-Bakar and Ouyang, 2008). Currently, the complex eigenvalue method is the most commonly and preferred method.…”
