A device () and a method are provided for determining the oscillatory behavior of a brake lining () for a motor vehicle. The device () has a mounting device () for mounting a brake lining () and a securing device () for securing a brake disk model () assigned to the brake lining () so that the brake lining () can be brought to bear with the brake disk model () against a contact face (). A pretensioning device () is coupled to the mounting device () and/or to the securing device () so that the brake lining () can be pressed against the brake disk model () with a pressure force (') predetermined in terms of absolute value and direction. An excitation device (&#x2032;) is provided for exciting oscillations of the brake disk model () and/or the brake lining ().

Device and method for determining the oscillatory behavior of a brake lining in the field of motor vehicles

A disk brake includes a brake disk which is surrounded by a caliper carrying lining devices. On the side of the lining device facing a brake lining surface, the brake disk has a concave brake disk surface. In order to at least partially reduce the noise emitted occurring during slow-down braking, the concavity of the brake disk surface and the convexity of the brake lining surface are constructed such that a noise-reducing form closure occurs.
