Design and Transient analysis of Friction Clutch plate for two wheeler by Using ANSYS

Abstract

Clutch is one of the essential components in automobiles. It is located between the engine and the gear box. The main function of the clutch is to initiate the motion or increase the velocity of the vehicle by transferring kinetic energy from the flywheel. The present paper deals with the designing and analysis of friction clutch plate. Design has been done by using CATIA V5 software and transient structural analysis carried by using ANSYS. Finally the plots for equivalent stress, strains and total deformation were obtained for different friction materials for friction clutch plate , Uniform wear theory were used for the analysis.
