Finite Element Analysis of Thermal Load Characteristics of Dry Dual Clutch

The dry dual clutch of a passenger car is taken as the research object, and its three-dimensional model is established by software CATIA. On this basis, the thermal load characteristics of the dry dual clutch under the condition of multiple starting on the ramp are analyzed by software ABAQUS. The analysis results show that the temperature rise and thermal stress of the parts caused by the friction heat are within the normal range, which indicates that the designs of the pressure plate and the intermediate driving plate meet the requirements. This study obtains the distributions of the transient temperature field of the clutch friction pair under the conditions of the multiple starting, which has an important reference value for the design and optimization of the dry dual clutch.
