Abstract

The study of the shoe lining in the drum brake mechanism is of paramount importance to evaluate its wear regularity. Thereto, the computational scheme of the drum brake-shoe mechanism has been designed, the calculation formulae of tangential and radial components of the external points displacement in the lining have been analyzed, by means of which their numerical values have been determined, the diagram of the radial displacements has been designed and compared with descriptors of the wear change along the friction lining, according to which they alter with similar regularities.
