Creak noise is kind of scratching noise which is usually generated in drum brake system on the vehicle. When driver brakes vehicle or applies parking lever, drum brake shoe moves to the drum side to stop the vehicle. And at that time, moving shoe scratches backing plate ledge surface, and that makes scratching noise in special condition. This study presents how we can generate creak noise in the laboratory and how we can reduce it by experimental approach. Through several and various type of tests, we could generate creak noise with damage on ledge area of the backing plate in the lab and we verified tab type shoe design can reduce this scratching noise. As a result of this study, we notified how creak noise happens in the vehicle, and that tab type design shoe has good performance of ledge area damage based on lab test(rig & dynamometer equipment), and that this can reduce potential risk of creak noise in the field.

It is vary importance that stopping distance for the freight train and need to design parameter of the brake force and friction coefficient. Acoording to the brake force between shoe and wheel less than the adhesion between wheel and rail. Because of vary difference between empty and weight car of 0∼500kN, this solution was made to application for variable loaded brake system. When the V=110km/h. the emergency stopping distance of freight train is about 700m, so this study was considered on the two condition, one of the increse brake force and to be different of the increse friction coefficient on the brake shoe. It was useful increse friction coefficient. Result of study, analyze effect of the brake shoe on the brake force of the freight car and high friction coefficient were proposed. To do this, ${\mu}$=0.155${\pm}$10% when S=600m on the V=110km/h of the train, 2 groove of friction surface on the temperature distribution were considered.

This paper deals with the dynamic stability of a brake shoe under pulsating frictional forces. A lining part of brake systems is assumed as a distributed spring, and the supported elements of a shoe are assumed as translational springs for a constant distributed frictional force and a pulsating frictional force. Governing equations are derived by the use of the extended Hamilton's principle, and numerical results are calculated by finite element method. The critical distributed frictional force and instability regions were investigated for the change of distributed spring constants and translational spring constants.

The paper presents the dynamic stability of a flexible shoe in drum brake systems subjected to a frictional force. The frictional force between the drum and the shoe is assumed as a distributed frictional force, while the shute is modeled as an elastic beam supported by two translational springs at both ends and elastic foundations. Governing equations of motion are derived by energy expressions, and their numerical results are obtained by employing the finite element method. The critical distributed frictional force and the instability regions are demonstrated by changing the stiffness of two translational springs and elastic foundation parameters. It is also shown that the beam loses its stability by flutter and divergence depending on the stiffness of elastic supports and elastic foundation parameters. Time responses of beams corresponding to their instability types are also demonstrated.

The squeal of drum brakes was investigated numerically and experimentally. Modal testings were performed for shoes, drums, backing plates and their assemblies. In order to predict the squeal phenomena, stability analysis was performed based on a simplified self-excited vibration model. Based on modal testings, the dynamic properties of the brake elements and the parameters used in this analysis were determined. The geometries of shoes and drums were also considered. The result shows that the modification methods of the shoe and the drum design are feasible for noise reduction.

Structural analysis of a brake shoe for commercial vehicle was performed using finite element method. Since the strength of a brake shoe is affected by the magnitude and distribution shape of the contact pressure with the drum, the contact pressure between the shoe friction material and drum was calculated using a 2-Dimensional non-linear contact analysis in a state. And the brake was actuated by input air pressure and the drum of it was calculated both stationary and dynamic based on forced torque applied to the drum during the static state analysis. The results of the above analysis were then used as the load boundary conditions for a 3-Dimensional shoe model analysis to determine the maximum strain on the shoes. In the analysis model, the values of tensile test were used for the material properties of the brake shoes and drum, while the values of compression test were used for the friction material. We assumed it as linear variation, even though the properties of friction material were actually non-linear. The experiments were carried out under the same analysis conditions used for fatigue test and under the same brake system which equipped with a brake drum based on the actual axle state in a vehicle. The strains were measured at the same locations where the analysis was performed on the shoes. The obtained results of the experiment matched well with those from the analysis. Consequently, the model used in this study was able to determine the stress at the maximum air pressure at the braking system, thereby a modified shoe model in facilitating was satisfied with the required endurance strength in the vehicle.

It is also shown that the beam loses its stability by flutter and divergence depending on the stiffness of elastic supports and elastic foundation parameters. Finally, the time responses of the beam corresponding to their instability types are demonstrated.

The noises which occurs from the rolling stock can be divided largely into three classes and they are Rolling noise, Traction noise and Aerodynamic noise. In the event of braking the rolling stock which enter into the station, Brake shoes cause Fraction noise (braking noise) and excessive braking noise makes passengers and operators uncomfortable. This study is to reduce squeal noise and minimize displeasure by measuring the braking noise and defining the major noise sources and noise mechanism

In this paper, we investigated the braking performance of a composite brake shoe for power car. Laboratory bench test and field tests were carried out to characterize the braking performance by the parameters such as friction coefficient, wear rate, braking temperature and stopping distance. Density distribution was found to have a significant influence on the wear rate. The composite brake shoe with even density distribution showed better braking performance. The braking performance of a composite brake shoe was also compared with that of a cast iron brake shoe which is currently being used. The result indicated the performance of the composite brake shoe is better than the cast iron brake shoe.
