Design Modelling & Analysis of Automotive Single Plate Friction Clutch

  • Unique Paper ID: 146453
  • PageNo: 669-673
  • Abstract:
  • A clutch is a mechanism which is used to transfer rotary motion from one shaft to another shaft. When both shaft are coincident with each other. The friction clutches work on the fact that friction is cause when to rotating disc come into contact with each other. To avoid failure of a clutch, it is necessary to find the stresses and analyze vibration parameters of the clutch. This paper deals with study of designing a friction clutch assembly using Pro-e software and its structural analysis using FEA. Modal analysis is carried out to optimize the natural frequency of the single plate clutch to avoid being in resonance with the engine frequency range. The results show that natural frequencies of original model of clutch and natural frequencies of simplified model of clutch are in good agreement with each other.
