The Pressure Design of Wet Shift Clutch Based on Thermoelastic Instability Analysis

Abstract:

This paper investigated the dynamic pressure distribution on the plates within a wet shift clutch in hydrodynamic machineries for one engagement. The perturbation pressure model, heat conduction model and pressure calculation model excited by thermoealstic instability was developed. And wrote calculation programs with Maple 15 to analyze the influence of two kinds of typical friction materials, different thermal conductivity, different initial engagement speed on perturbation pressure amplitude and its impact on the pressure design margin and design radius. The results show that the margin can be decreased and design radius can be reduced, so power density increased. When the slipping speed is controlled within 16m /s, the radius can be reduced to about 1/2 of the original value.
