Three kinds of brake pads with bionic non-smooth surfaces, namely round pit pad, square pad and mixed pit pad, are designed in this work, to solve the brake friction vibration phenomenon and problems for disc brake. Finite element software ABAQUS is used to analyze the friction-induced vibration of the brake system with three different pads. The results obtained from these systems are compared with the brake system with smooth bake pad. Results show that the model coupling frequency and quantity will be changed when the pad when the friction pad is bionic treated, part of the vibration frequency of the brake system is missing and newly added. This is because that the surface treatment reduces the overall stiffness and the model frequency of the friction pad, which consequently changes the coupling orders of pad with other parts of the brake system. Complex eigenvalue analysis results show that the friction pad with mixed pits shows the best ability in improving the stability of the brake system, the number of unstable vibration frequency is significantly reduced, and the brake system has the largest value of TOI. By contrast, the friction pad with a circular hole possess relative weaker potential in suppressing brake vibration. Through the analysis of the contact stress at the braking interface, it is found that the bionic treatment of the friction pad can improve the stress concentration phenomenon at the braking interface, which causes the stress distribution becomes more uniform, and weak the energy accumulation phenomenon at the interface and improving the stability of the braking system. The above analysis results can provide theoretical basis for surface bionic design to improve the stability of brake system.
