Design and Analysis of Single Plate Clutch Using Ansys

This paper addresses modelling and analysis of single plate clutch which is used in Tata Sumo vehicle. Clutch is the most significant component located between engine and gear box in automobiles. The static and dynamic analysis were developed for a clutch plate by using finite element analysis (FEA). The 3D solid model was done using CATIA V5R16 version and imported to ANSYS work bench 19.0 for structural, thermal and modal analysis. The mathematical modelling was also done using six different materials (i.e. Steel, Stainless Steel, Ceramics, Kevlar, Aluminium alloy and Gray Cast iron); then, by observing the results, comparison was carryout for materials to validate better lining material for single plate clutches using ANSYS workbench 19.0 and finally conclusion was made.
