Investigations on static and dynamic behaviour of brake-disc geometry were carried out by new, purpose-designed methods in order to describe the excitation mechanism of brake judder. Disc thickness variations were found to be the main cause for brake-torque variations and thus for judder. Effects on 'hurting and healing' static brake-disc geometry were analysed in test stand and real-road measurements. Thermal and mechanic influences on dynamic disc geometry were observed. Additionally, mechanic distortion of the disc axis by acting forces on wheel, hub and disc like imbalance- and rolling-resistance forces proved to reinforce disc thickness variations fictitiously. This firstly observed phenomenon was called 'virtual' dynamic brake-disc geometry.
