Dynamic Instability of Rigid Shoe Modes in a Drum Brake System

초록

This study examined the dynamic instability of a drum brake induced by the rigid modes of the brake shoe. The brake shoe was modeled as a rigid curved plate subject to frictional contact with a rotating drum. In the presence of a negatively sloped friction curve, dynamic instability was numerically analyzed with respect to variation in the system parameters. The results showed that mode-coupling instability did not occur, but dynamic instability was induced by negative damping in a specific rigid mode, and its propensity varied with the operating conditions and geometric changes.
