During the braking process, the work of friction is transformed into heat at the level of friction surfaces, and in case high temperatures are reached, the friction coefficient is influenced negatively, thus the risk of braking failure exists. In the first part of the study we measured the temperature of the friction surfaces for a particular case of hoist in real braking conditions. In the second part of the study is presented a theoretical model for the calculation of the temperatures resulted in the braking process for the hoist equipped with shoe brakes. The theoretical model for calculation was simulated numerically for a particular case in real braking conditions. Based on the conclusions resulted after the study, a series of hypotheses and recommendations for adjusting the control of the process parameters have been given out, in order to avoid the excessive heating of the brakes of the hoists and, respectively, their improved safety, maintenance and availability.}, type={Article}, title={Thermal Analysis of the Industrial Shoe Brakes to Reduce the Risk of Failure During Braking}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/115957/PDF/Archiwum-65-1-03-Ungureanu.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ams.2020.132704}, keywords={temperature, braking, friction surfaces, risk of failure, mining hoist}, }
