DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF AN AUTOMOTIVE SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH

This paper presents the stresses and deformations of the assembly of the automotive single plate clutch depending on the applied materials. Structural analysis of the clutch was performed by using the finite element method for a repressive vehicle example - Toyota KUN 25. First, the input data for the numerical analysis was calculated. Numerical analysis was performed in the ANSYS software package. As a result, the values of stresses and deformations that occur on the clutch during the vehicle exploitation are obtained.
