Machine Design II Prof. K.Gopinath Prof. M.M.Mayuram Indian Institute of Technology Madras Drum Brakes Among the various types of devices to be studied, based on their practical use, the discussion will be limited to “Drum brakes” of the following types which are mainly used in automotive vehicles and cranes and elevators. Drum Brake Types: ? Rim types with internal expanding shoes ? Rim types with external contracting shoes Internal expanding Shoe The rim type internal expanding shoe is widely used for braking systems in automotive applications and is generally referred as internal shoe drum brake. The basic approach applied for its analysis is known as long-rigid shoe brake analysis. Long –rigid Shoe Analysis ? A schematic sketch of a single shoe located inside a rotating drum with relevant notations, is shown in the figure below. In this analysis, the pressure at any point is assumed to be proportional to the vertical distance from the hinge pin, the vertical distance from the hinge pin, which in this case is proportional to sine of the angle and thus, p d sin sin∝ θ ∝ θ Since the distance d is constant, the normal pressure at any point is just proportional to sinΘ. Call this constant of proportionality as K Machine Design II Prof. K.Gopinath Prof. M.M.Mayuram Indian Institute of Technology Madras X Y RX dNcos d d N N N df sin d Ncos df Nsin F F X FY RY d θ θ θ θf θ dθ Figure 3.1.4 Thus p K sin= θ It the maximum allowable pressure for the lining material is pmax then the constant K can be defined as max max ppK sin sin = = θ θ max max p p s sin in= θ θ Machine Design II Prof. K.Gopinath Prof. M.M.Mayuram Indian Institute of Technology Madras ? The normal force dN is computed as the product of pressure and area and the frictional force as the product of normal force and frictional
