Analysis of contact material of single friction plate in clutch system

Abstract

Many different materials are used in the clutch systems to satisfy different types of clutches. Research on different types of clutch systems and consequently friction materials is still ongoing. The transmission systems are still needed even if the number of electric cars is increasing, because of the effect of the transmission systems on energy efficiency. In this paper, the 3D design and FEA simulation of a single friction plate material in a clutch system are studied.
