Design and Analysis of an Automotive Single Plate Clutch

Abstract

This paper presents the stresses and deformations of the assembly of the automotive single plate clutch depending on the applied materials. Structural analysis of the clutch was performed by using the finite element method for a repressive vehicle example -Toyota KUN 25. First, the input data for the numerical analysis was calculated. Numerical analysis was performed in the ANSYS software package. As a result, the values of stresses and deformations that occur on the clutch during the vehicle exploitation are obtained.

Application of Grey-Taguchi Method Optimizes the Structural Friction Clutch Disc

“…Thereby we can confirm that the results of FEM are optimal. This result is similar to the results of finite element analysis and is more optimal than the results in the study [8] with a stress of 271.97MPa and [9] with a stress of 167.91MPa.…”

“…rivet hole diameter is 3.25mm with a stress of 66.889MPa and a strain of 0.033115mm. This result is similar to the results of finite element analysis and is more optimal than the results in the study [8] with a stress of 271.97MPa [9] with a stress of 167.91MPa. From the results of Table 8, it is shown that the error of the Taguchi method is much larger than that of the GRA method.…”

“…Finally, the 2.5mm radius of the drive plate is suitable for the clutch design and the life of the clutch is increased. The single clutch disc using a purpose steel material [8]. Study on stress and deformation analysis of 3D clutch disc model.…”
