The Automotive Friction Clutches Face Seal Axial Symmetric Modeling Problem

Abstract:

An axial clutch is one in which the mating frictional members are moved in a direction parallel to the shaft. One of the earliest of these is the cone clutch, which is simple in construction and quite powerful. However, except for relatively simple installations, it has been largely displaced by the disk clutch employing one or more disks as the operating members. Advantages of the disk clutch include the freedom from centrifugal effects, the large frictional area that can be installed in a small space, the more effective heat-dissipation surfaces, and the favorable pressure distribution. Modeling methods typically implement mathematical models that can be used to simulate steady-state and transient performance under various commanded conditions, loads, and operational regimes. In the case of drive-train systems, these models should be dynamic to simulate the transient interaction among speeds, loads, and power sources. These dynamic simulation models enable the identification of diagnostic indicators. .
