Hi, I am looking for some help with a project I am doing where I am designing a braking system for a machine.
The machine can travel up to a maximum speed of 12khm and weighs 5000kg.
I need to stop the vehicle in approx. 6 meters/1.2m/s deceleration, using two drum brakes which are operated with hydraulic pressure.
I have calculated the required braking force
F = Ma
6000 = 5000x1.2
Is there an equation to calculate the size of brake drum that I need and the amount of hyd pressure I need to operate the brake?
