Abstract

In this paper, we perform a theoretical analysis to determine the quantitative relationship between abrasive wear and crack initiation in a brake drum when a wheeled vehicle is braking. Using the model of a rough friction surface, a closed system of algebraic equations that allows one to study cracking in the brake drum depending on the abrasive wear of the friction surface is constructed. The developed model is shown to allow calculating the effect of wear on crack initiation in the brake drum in the design stage.
