| Summary: | Clutch system is one of the main systems in a vehicle. Clutch is a mechanical
device located between a vehicle engine and its transmission which provides mechanical
coupling between the engine and transmission input shaft. The clutch engages the
transmission gradually by allowing a certain amount of slippage between the flywheel
and the transmission input shaft. However, the slipping mechanism of the clutch
generates heat energy due to friction between the clutch disc and the flywheel. In this
project, a lightweight clutch disc will be designed by using CATIA V5 software. The
diameter of the clutch disc and the hub length of the clutch disc will be calculated by
using formulas. For the friction facing material selection, materials will be differentiate
in term of coefficient of friction, density, maximum pressure that can be applied,
maximum temperature that the material can withstand and the coefficient of thermal of
expansion of the material. The materials that are chosen are carbon-carbon composite.
After completing the design in CATIA V5 software, the design will be analyze by using
ANSYS finite element software. In this software both thermal and static characteristics
of the clutch disc will be studied. The results obtained will be discussed in term of factor
of safety. |
