In addition to different kinds of pollutants emitted by the vehicles, noise can also negatively effect on human health. It does not only threaten drivers, but also people living near major intersections and roads, as well as roads where traffic-flow is high. One of the biggest problems of the vehicle is the noise that occurs in the braking process. Despite the large scope of research into the development of brake systems, there are still no reliable procedures during the development phase to evaluate the robustness of these systems with respect to friction-induced vibrations. Therefore, the identification of the modal properties by using experimental methods has become even more important. Experimental and numerical modal analysis of the venting disc with radial ribs was performed in this paper. This approach enables the determination of the natural frequencies of the brake disc, as well as the verification of results obtained by the numerical methods. Changes in modal properties-resonance frequencies and modal damping values due to variation in operating conditions were also analysed.
