Abstract
A mathematical model is presented to describe the thermal behavior of a bra ke system that consists of shoe and drum. The model is solved analytically using Green's function method for any type of the stopping braking action. In terms of the obtained solutions, the transient temperature distribution of the brake is described. The thermal behavior is investigated for three s pecified braking actions that are the impulse, unit step and trigonometric stopping actions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
