Abstract
In design of the friction clutches of automobiles, knowledge on the thermo-elasticity a priori is very informative in the initial design stage. Especially, the precise prediction technique of maximum structural stress should be requested in design of mechanical clutches for their durability and compactness. In this study, a simple transmission system consisting of engine, clutch, gearbox and load is designed for the load lifting application. Stiffness of all the three shafts have been calculated and equivalent stiffness is calculated. Equivalent mass moment of inertia is also calculated. Duration of engagement period is calculated for the selected power transmission system and energy dissipated during engagement is also plotted as a function of time. The effect of excitation torque and damping coefficient on the amplitude of vibration is plotted for various values of excitation speeds. Keywords: Clutch, Stress, Deformation, Material, ANSYS, Vehicle Exploitation, Static Analysis, Solid Works.
