The application calculates the Force and Torque of an articulated shoe brake (self-energizing and NOT self-energizing) by displaying all values used in the calculations as moments of the friction force and normal force, the distance of the actuating force (c), maximum pressure to be used in the non-self-energizing shoe, the torques in the self-energizing and non-self-energizing shoes, total torque values of the sines and cosines of the start and end angle.
