Abstract
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.
