The symmetric brake shown in the figure has a width of
30 mm with a mean friction coefficient of 0.25.
Note that

and radius of the drum is 150 mm. For an estimated
actuating force of F=500 N for each brake, determine:
a) The maximum pressure on each shoe
b) The total brake
torque capacity
c) Comment on the self – energizing behavior of each shoe.
Comment is very important

Figure 3: Double internal long shoe drum brake The double internal long shoe drum brake as shown in Figure 3 has a shoe outer diameter 420 mm and shoe width of 65 mm. Each shoe is actuated by a force of 4500N. The coefficient of friction for the brake lining is 0.30. Find the magnitude of the maximum pressure and the braking torque.
