ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the field of braking systems, particularly those braking systems that utilize linkages to transmit brake-generated loads from a wheel and brake assembly to a braked vehicle. According to an aspect of the invention, a damped brake rod is provided for attachment to a structure, the structure having at least one wheel and brake assembly. The damped brake rod comprises a rod-like member for attachment to the brake assembly and the structure to resist rotation of the brake assembly relative to the structure, and a bending mode coulomb damper attached to the brake rod that damps cyclic bending mode movement of the rod-like member during braking. The bending mode coulomb damper bears essentially only cyclic loads induced by cyclic bending mode movement of the rod-like member generated during braking. A method of damping a brake rod is also provided.
