Single and dual dry clutches are widely used in automotive transmissions because of their
reliability and efficiency paired with low fuel consumption and reduction of pollutant …

The tribological contact under sliding condition in the clutch facing surfaces during the
engagement manoeuvre is strongly affected by heat transfer occurring in the system. The …

Due to their exceptional ability to endure heavy loads, cam-lobe radial-piston hydraulic
motors are extensively utilized in heavy machinery. The wet brake is a key part capable of …

A methodology for the analysis of wear in internal combustion engine valves is proposed,
which is the result of the combined use of numerical and experimental techniques. The …

Fiber-reinforced hybrid composites are the most commonly used dry-friction materials in the
automotive industry. On the other hand, the great variety of components utilized these days …

A novel dry clutch actuator for the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) using self-energizing
principle is suggested. A mathematical model of the actuator and the inclusive DCT driveline …

To investigate the thermal behavior of friction discs in dry clutches during long-term slipping,
a two-dimensional transient thermal model was established using the finite element method …

Mechanical structures of large-scale antennas are sheet metals connected by thousands of
rivets. The antenna dimensional error after riveting often violates the limit allowed. The …

Friction behavior in a sliding contact is strongly influenced by the surface topography of the
bodies in contact. This also applies to friction clutches. Even small differences in surface …

SUMMARY A finite element formulation to compute the wear between three‐dimensional
flexible bodies that are in contact with each other is presented. The contact pressure and the …
