MODELLING AND STATIC THERMAL ANALYSIS OF MULTI CLUTCH PALTE BY USING DIFFERENT MATERIALS

Abstract

A clutch is a mechanical device which provides for the transmission of power motion from one component to another component .The opposite component of the clutch is the brake. A multi plate clutch may be used when a large torque is to be transmitted. The multi disc clutches are extensively used in motor cars, motorbikes, machine tools etc. The aim of the project is to design a multi plate clutch by using theoretical values. A 2D drawing is drafted for multi plate clutch from the calculations and a 3D model is created in the SOLIDWORKSmodelling software took for pulsar 150cc bike Existing vehicle. We have done FEM analysis by varying friction materials with some non metals By extracting the result we are going to find out which material is best for the multiclutch plate by using Structural analysis and thermal analysis using these material properties of the Four materials, Grey cast iron, SF001,Zamak,AL7075,etc....,
