Modelling and numerical and experimental investigations of contact phenomena and wear processes in a mechanical friction clutch

Abstract
This work presents numerical and experimental investigations of contact phenomena and wear processes occurring on the contact surface of linings of a mechanical friction clutch. These problems have already been studied earlier, but only simplified mathematical models have been used and applied. Our work takes into account elasticity and abrasive wear properties of material of friction linings rubbing themselves. A general non-linear differential model of wear and a wear model in the integral form are considered. Besides, we present results describing thermal phenomena (heat generation and its propagation) occurring in the considered system. Many interesting results are obtained, illustrated and discussed. Finally, numerical results are also compared with the experimental data.
