A model is developed to investigate the effect of radial grooves and waffle-shape grooves on
the performance of a wet clutch. Three-dimensional formulation of the governing equations …

The temperature plays a significant role in the tribology properties and failure of friction
materials during engagement of wet clutch. In order to obtain the temperature field of carbon …

A coupled numerical multi-physics model is developed to study the generation and variation
mechanisms of friction torque, including fluid lubricating, micro-contact, sliding and heat …

The high thermal stresses generated at the interface between the contacting surfaces due to
the sliding between parts of sliding system such as friction clutches and brakes. In this work …

Most state-of-the-art natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) plants are triple-pressure
reheat cycles with efficiencies close to 60%. However, with carbon capture and storage, the …

This work presents a comprehensive formulation of the equations governing the lubrication
and the lock-up phases of an engaging wet clutch. A finite element model is established …

Thermal deformation of friction pair has a significant effect on the working performance of
hydro-viscous drive. In order to investigate the combined effect of temperature variation and …

To improve the mechanical and wet tribological properties, the carbon fabric/phenolic
composites containing 0 wt%(F0), 0.5 wt%(F1) and 1 wt%(F2) aramid pulp were prepared by …

Purpose To gain in-depth understandings of engaging characteristics, the purpose of this
paper is to improve the model of wet clutches to predict the transmitted torque during the …

Wet clutches are widely used in vehicle transmission systems to start and shift. The
temperature field of the wet clutch components is influenced by friction and is closely related …
