description Friction induced vibrations such as brake squealing, or juddering are still challenging topics in product engineering processes. So far, this topic was particularly relevant for the automobile industry because they were the main market for disc brake systems. However, since mobility habits change, disc brake system are more often to be found on bikes or e-scooters. In all of these systems, vibrations are excited in contacts on the micro scale but affect the user comfort and safety on the macro scale. Therefore, the aim of this cross-scale method is to analyze a system on a micro scale and to transfer the excitation mechanisms on a macro scale system. To address both scales, the current work presents a finite element model on the micro scale for the determination of the coefficient of friction, which is transferred to the macro scale and used in a multi-body simulation. Finally, a finite element modal analysis is conducted, which allowed us to evaluate the brake system behavior on base of an excitation.
