Considered one of the greenest forms of transport, the rail industry is at an exciting point pursuing several key initiatives to decarbonise its operations, assets, and supply chains. Therefore, having a brake shoe with a lower carbon footprint is essential for achieving the goals related to decarbonizing the operation, as it is a wear item. For this purpose, a carbon footprint measurement methodology was applied to the development of a friction material for railway brake shoes in order to reduce the carbon footprint generated in the production of the material, combining a sustainable material with greater durability in operation, thus reducing the total cost of ownership. In order to assess the advantages of the new product, a comparative analysis was carried out of the carbon footprint of the conventional shoe and the new railway shoe proposal, both used in the same application, considering the performance and environmental impact of each raw material and stage of the production

A road test on semi-trailers is carried out, and accelerations of some characteristic points on the braking system,axles,and truck body is measured,also brake pressure and noise around the support frame is acquired.The measured data was analyzed to determine the causes of the brake noise, and the mechanism of the noise of the drum brake of semi-trailers during low-speed braking was investigated. The following conclusions are obtained: (1) Brake noise of the drum brake of the semi-trailer at low-frequency is generated from vibrations of the brake shoes, axle, and body, and the vibration frequency is close to 2nd natural frequency of the axle. (2) Brake noise is generated from stick-slip motion between the brake shoes and the brake drum, where the relative motion between the brake drum and the brake shoes is changed alternately with sliding and sticking, resulting in sudden changes in acceleration and shock vibration. A multi-body dynamic model of the semi-trailer is established for

An experiment is carried out to measure creep groan of a drum brake located in a trailer axle of a truck. The noise nearby the drum brake and accelerations on brake shoes, axle and trailer frame are collected to analyze the occurring conditions and characteristics of the creep groan. A multi-body dynamics model with 1/4 trailer chassis structures is established for analyzing brake component vibrations that generates the creep groan. In the model, the contact force between brake cam and brake shoes, the contact friction characteristics between brake linings and inner circular surface of brake drum, and the properties of chassis structure are included. Dynamic responses of brake shoes, axle and trailer frame during the braking process are estimated using the established model and the responses are compared with the measured results, which validate the model. Three conclusions of measurement and calculation are obtained. (1) The creep groan is usually generated when braking speed is lower

The SAE J2521 procedure applies to high-frequency squeal noise occurrences for on-road passenger cars and light trucks below 4540 kg of GVWR. The procedure incorporates high-temperature and low-temperature test matrixes but does not fully account for the effects of the environment on brake squeal. For this test procedure, squeal occurs when the peak noise level is at least 70 dB(A) between 1.25 kHz and 16 kHz for tests using full suspension corners or full axle assemblies or between 2 kHz and 16 kHz for brakes not using a full suspension corner. Before using this recommended practice for chassis dynamometer testing, review in detail the specifics related to at least (a) instrumentation, including in-cabin microphones, (b) threshold levels for noise detection, (c) temperature control priority between the front and rear axles, (d) vehicle loading and load distribution, (e) cooling air and environmental conditioning, and (f) detailed nomenclature and labeling of channels and sensors

The static coefficient of friction between lining and shoe plays a fundamental role in the lining fixing project, which is the most important parameter for the riveted joint calculation. For the lining riveting, the rivet needs to ensure that friction material and shoe remain in contact through the normal force applied on the surfaces, but the rivet should not be exposed to shear forces. Thus, the brake torque transmission must occur through the static coefficient of friction between lining and shoe, not allowing relative slips or movements between the pair in contact. Therefore, the present study aims to understand the influence of the static friction coefficient between lining and shoe as a function of the lining internal superficial roughness, from the evaluation of different roughness conditions - contact area with shoe -. The static coefficient of friction between lining and shoe is a complex measurement to be performed, due to the cylindrical geometry of the drum brake system, so

This study aims to present a numerical structural validation procedure for the drum brake spider component. To implement the procedure, the ANSA, ABAQUS, Fe-Safe, and Minitab engineering software were used for stress analysis, fatigue life calculation, and statistical validation using Weibull distribution. The results obtained from these tools allowed us to determine with acceptable error the spot failure of the component and the number of cycles until the occurrence of the failure. The input data to support the pre-processing of the numerical model and obtain the virtual results were determined from the application and analysis of the following methods: determination of the stress strain curve of the Spheroidal Graphite Iron (SG) material of the component, applied to Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) of fracture mechanics and evaluation of the behavior of Nodular Cast Iron under fatigue life. Given the non-linear characteristics under the conditions of use, the need for correction of

The aim of this paper was the proposal of a numerical procedure for the structural evaluation and durability validation of brake shoes, employing fatigue and finite element softwares that are able to predict the failure locations (and number of cycles to failure) with acceptable accuracy. The software Abaqus was used in the calculation of the stress and strain fields whereas the software fe-safe was employed in the evaluation of fatigue life. Accelerated tests were performed on a bench test that has been designed to match the operating conditions of the vehicles were the brake shoes are assembled. In those cases where only local plasticity is expected (rather than generalized plasticity) the procedure can somewhat be simplified by running linear elastic finite element analysis (instead of full non-linear), which is often called pseudo-elastic analysis [1]. Then the pseudo stresses and strains are corrected at post-processing time by means of the Neuber’s rule and Ramberg-Osgood

Lift axle is essentially provided in commercial vehicles to increase the vehicle’s load-carrying capacity. The axle is lowered in the case of a high payload and the load is evenly distributed among the wheels both on fixed axles and the lift axle. This ability to lift the axle implies better maneuverability in turns, better fuel consumption, and less wear and tear on the tires and brake shoes. Also, it will reduce the damage to the road surfaces. This lowering and lifting of the lift axle are controlled by a series of valves together called the Lift Axle Control System (LACS). This LACS must consider the vehicle load condition, the ignition state, and gear state to decide if the axle must be lifted or lowered. This paper deals with the modeling and simulation of the LACS system at the vehicle level and optimize the design for the respective desired design solution

The paper is devoted to the study of the influence of braking devices over the stability of braking properties of the cars. A technique is proposed for assessing the stability of braking devices using the generalized braking torque equation, which allows the selection of a rational type of braking devices and optimization of the geometric parameters thereof at the design stage of the cars. Stability assessment of the braking torque is carried out according to the criterion of the sensitivity of the braking torque to a change in the coefficient of friction between the friction surfaces of the braking mechanism. Using the dimensionless functions and coefficients depending on the geometric parameters of the friction pairs and the feedback sign in the braking mechanism, it was found that the braking mechanism with one active and one passive pad has less sensitivity to a change in the friction coefficient than the braking mechanism with two active pads. The analysis of the influence of the

On account of the traditional friction brake for heavy-duty truck (HDT), the massive quantity of heat accumulating constantly because of frequent using of friction brake system in the long and steep downhill road leads to brake temperature rising rapidly. Affected by structure frictional couple installed in the closed environment of the brake drum, it is difficult to dissipate the heat in time via heat conduction, heat radiation and heat convection, and the heat fade phenomenon of the brake emerges easily. The HDT would be in danger because of braking efficiency descending. This paper proposes an active water-cooled drum brake system (AWBS) to solve the problem. According to the principle of engineering thermodynamics, the structure and size of the back-stretching water jacket of brake shoe and the inner riveted the friction plate of brake drum are designed with restrained of GB 12676-2014 ‘Technical requirements and testing methods for commercial vehicle and trailer braking systems

The air brake system is still the most common brake system in use in heavy diesel vehicles. For safety and economic reasons it is imperative to understand the performance and durability (especially fatigue and wear) of every component of a drum brake, particularly the brake shoes. In applications where torque is lower than 20kNm brake shoes are made of ductile metals such as SAE 1030 steel. For such ductile materials Brown-Miller and Fatemi-Socie are the most recommended methods for fatigue crack initiation life prediction. The next pages discuss the validation of these fatigue methods in the case study of a 325mm brake shoe

The purpose of this study is to propose an effective model to estimate the excitation force accompanied with stick-slip between shoe and disc, considering the strain distribution on contact surface of the shoe, and then to propose an effective concept to design the brake which reduced the brake squeal under practical use. In order to investigate the influence of configuration of the hole, three types of discs were prepared in which the size of holes was different. The SPL (Sound Pressure Level) and the frequency of squeal for three types of discs were measured when the brake squeal was observed at conditions of low sliding speed. The change of stability of the brake shoe passing on hole was analyzed by 2-D simplified brake system model. In order to investigate how the strain distribution of the shoe affected on the excitation force caused by stick-slip, FE (Finite-element) and FDTD (Finite-difference time-domain) analysis were utilized to simulate the elastic wave propagation in the
