The disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories, and particularly provides a brake for a vehicle and a vehicle. The disclosure aims at solving the problem that existing brakes for a vehicle usually cannot overcome low-frequency stubborn noise generated by a caliper structure in the brake in a braking process. For this purpose, the brake for a vehicle according to the disclosure comprises a first caliper body and a second caliper body, wherein the first caliper body and the second caliper body are provided with a first friction disc and a second friction disc respectively, a brake disc is arranged between the first friction disc and the second friction disc, and the first friction disc and the second friction disc are each further provided with at least one mass block, so as to quickly reduce low-frequency operating noise of the brake, thereby fundamentally eliminating braking noise, and then solving the problem that the existing brakes for a vehicle usually cannot overcome low-frequency stubborn noise generated by a caliper structure in the brake in a braking process.

Various embodiments of aircraft brake assembly structures are provided for achieving noise reduction during braking activity. In certain embodiments of the invention, the actual application of force to the pressure plate is regulated such that a different number of actuator pistons are used during low-energy stops than during high-energy stops. In other embodiments of the invention, the pressure plate or endplate is augmented as to surface area in some instances and as to a taper angle in others, again to achieve a desired increase in effective pressure application during low-energy stops. In other embodiments of the invention, the stator and/or rotor disks are characterized by slots to break up the propagation of noise waves.

The invention relates to a brake lining assembly, particularly for drum brakes, comprising a brake shoe having an outer contour, a brake lining having an inner contour, and an intermediate layer having an outer contact region and an inner contact region. The intermediate layer is arranged between the brake shoe and the brake lining, and the intermediate layer is formed, as viewed radially with respect to an axis of rotation of the brake shoe, in such a manner that the inner contact region is matched in a form-fitting manner to the outer contour of the brake shoe in a circumferential direction of the brake shoe. The outer contact region is matched in a form-fitting manner to the inner contour of the brake lining along the circumferential direction.

A brake pad for a disc brake with decreased wear characteristics is provided. The brake pad is configured with the distribution of brake pad friction material weighted toward the radially outer region of the brake pad, with the lateral sides of the pad material being generally aligned with radial lines originating at the rotation axis of the brake disc of the disc brake. The brake pad friction material distribution results in decreased brake application pressure between the brake pad and the brake disc while obtaining the same braking force provided by a comparable generally rectangular brake pad, resulting in lower brake pad wear at the same braking force levels.

An anti-squeal shim includes at least a first metal layer and an elastomer layer that is bonded to the first metal layer. The at least first metal layer is configured as a first electrode for electrical connection to a resistance measuring system, and the elastomer layer is configured with structural spatial features that enable the elastomer layer to obtain a reduced thickness when subjected to a mechanical force in a direction perpendicular to the elastomer layer.
