Simulation of the engagement of carbon fabric wet clutch: Analytical and experimental comparison

摘要: Abstract Studying the wet clutch engagement more efficiently makes it necessary to simulate behavior. So, based on modified Reynolds equation and torque balance equation, numerical model was developed by introducing carbon fabric contact coefficient surface pattern parameter for clutch. It found that there a good agreement between computational results experimental measurements. And subsequently, influences of applied pressure, permeability fluid viscosity characteristics were explored with proposed model.
