Research on the friction plate groove structure of wet friction clutch

Wet friction clutch is widely applied in shipping, heavy truck and other heavy machinery because of it has many advantages that smooth start reversing, big transmission torque, wear small, long life etc.It will improve the friction plate service life of car.Besides, there are many characteristics that the twist, heat dissipation, drag torque, and thermal are affected by the groove structure form of wet friction clutch.This paper establishes the finite element model of wet friction clutch which has different forms of double circular arc and waffle groove.Moreover, we analyses the flow field and temperature field of the two different friction plate that mentioned above.Finally, the research can provide reference to the man who wants to study on the structure design, optimization, and application of friction plate.
