As shown in FIG. 7C, the brake lining of Comparative Example 2 contains six first friction member block (friction member blocks 121g, 121h, and 121i and 121j their symmetry). Friction member blocks 121g, 121h, 121i, and 121j angle α, respectively, 0 °, 0 °, was 1.6 °, and 2.1 °.
[0054]
Inventive Example 1, the total number of friction members included in Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 (the total number of fastening members) are respectively, 14, and 14, and 12 and. Further, Invention Example 1, respectively Comparative Example 1, and the sliding area of the friction members included in Comparative Example 2 (the total area of the brake disc side surface of the friction member) is, 27552Mm 2 , 27552Mm 2 , and 23616Mm 2 and did.

In this analysis, the brake caliper, giving a predetermined load from the rear side of the brake linings to the brake lining. Specifically, when a new disk is 13.65KN, in the case of warped shape disk 6.8KN, in the case of thermal deformation disk gave a load of 6.2KN. And, we were evaluated brake squeal due to the load. Further, (total contact area between the brake disc and the friction member) contact area due to the load, and were evaluated for the maximum contact surface pressure.
[0056]
The results of the evaluation of the brake noise shown in FIG. The vertical axis of the graph in FIG. 8 represents the maximum squeal index. Squeal index was expressed as the ratio of when the 1 attenuation ratio of self-excited vibration generated in the analytical model of Comparative Example 1. As apparent from FIG. 8, the friction member blocks than the brake lining of Comparative Example 1 that are not arranged along the circumference, Inventive Example 1 and Comparative Example friction member blocks are arranged along the circumference in 2 of the brake lining, brake noise is reduced. In particular, the first friction member block 21 and the second friction member block 22 and the brake linings of the inventive example 1 are mixed, the effect of suppressing brake noise was extremely high. In the graph shown in FIG. 8, the squeal index falls 0.1 sound pressure corresponds to a 50% reduction. Therefore, the results of FIG. 8, the brake lining invention Example 1 shows that extremely high brake noise suppressing effect is obtained.
[0057]
The analysis results for the contact area between the brake disc and the friction member shown in Table 1. Furthermore, it shows the analysis results for the maximum contact surface pressure between the brake disc and the friction member in Table 2. Contact area is large, that the brake disk and the friction member is uniformly contacted, i.e., means that the partial wear of the friction member is small. Similarly, the maximum contact surface pressure is small, means that less uneven wear of the friction member.

[0060]
In Table 1, different from the contact area of the new disc as Comparative Example 1 and Invention Example 1, it is due to the relationship between the placement position and the friction member is pushed by the piston of the brake caliper. As shown in Table 1, the brake lining of the invention Example 1 is compared with the brake lining of Comparative Example 1 number is same of the friction member, the contact area is larger 1-5%. The brake lining of the invention Example 1 is compared with the brake lining of Comparative Example 1 and 2 was smaller maximum contact surface pressure. As a result, by using the brake lining of the invention Example 1 show that it is possible to suppress uneven wear of the friction member.
[0061]
To suppress brake noise as shown in FIG. 8, it is important to arrange the friction member blocks along the circumference. Brake lining of Comparative Example 2 is the first friction member blocks 21 are arranged along the circumference, placing 14 of the friction member by using only the first friction member block 21 size relationship in it is difficult. On the other hand, to increase the contact area by using only the first friction member block 21, is required to be arranged as in Comparative Example 1. However, when the arrangement of Comparative Example 1, brake noise increases as shown in FIG. In contrast, the brake linings of the friction member block 21 and the friction member block 22 and Inventive Example 1 was combined with, it is possible to achieve the suppression of uneven wear and suppression of brake noise at the same time.
