Braking system with reduced tendency to squeal in cold conditions, in particular for electric vehicles, and associated brake pad and method

Braking system and method aimed to produce a forced increase in a damping layer temperature of a brake pad, arranged between a metal support and a friction material block thereof, wherein the damping layer is heated such as to stay at a temperature above a glass transition temperature of rubber components thereof, so assuring a maximum damping behavior; the heating is caused by magnetic induction generated by one or more electrically conducting coils fed in AC by a power source carried by the vehicle and arranged either integrated in the brake pad, e.g. carried by the support, or in the vicinity thereof.
