The outer circlip constraint is a typical way for a wet multidisc clutch to limit the axial
displacement of friction components. The pressure transmission mechanism in a clutch …

The high thermal stresses generated in the contacting surfaces of a multidisk clutch system
(pressure plate, clutch disks, plate separators and piston), due to the frictional heating …

The transient thermal and thermoelastic analysis of an automotive multidisc clutch is
performed to investigate the thermal deformation and the contact pressure distribution of the …

Mathematical modeling, theoretical/numerical analysis, and experimental verification of
wear processes occurring on the contact surface of friction linings of a mechanical friction …

Wedge brakes, featuring self-amplification, inspire good opportunity to obtain large normal
force by small actuation force. A single degree of freedom torsional model with harmonic …

This paper is focused on the analysis of complex rotating structures subjected to plausible
operating conditions. Effects of the temperature gradient and the centrifugal stiffening …

Mechanical systems like the Centre Buffer Couplers, which connect railway coaches, are
spring–dashpot mechanisms characterized by presence of dry friction and backlash and are …

Optimum design of a clutch and dual mass flywheel system is completed. Although the
clutch systems are exposed to both rotational and axial vibrations, they are generally …

The dry friction clutch is an important part in vehicles, which has more than one function, but
the most important function is to connect and disconnect the engine (driving part) with driven …

The effect of the first order phase transition from solid organic material to gas on fading in dry
clutches has been discussed recently. In the present paper the permeability of the contact …
