Abstract

Power transmission is an effective mechanical mechanism for changing vehicle speeds from the first speed to the next speed as it requires vehicles to increase the speed while driving. Therefore, clutches are crucial in ensuring effective power transmission and speed change in vehicles. In a conventional transmission, gears are changed by using a clutch to separate and connect the movement and change between gears. It depends entirely on the friction generated between two plates to transmit power, so it is made of a suitable material to perform this task. In this paper , the types of clutches used in vehicles were displayed, transferring motion through friction. The materials from which these clutches are made were also displayed, which depend mainly on friction and the value of the coefficient of friction. MATLAB was used to build a mathematical model to study the clutch's performance. Also, the performance of the clutch was studied under some appropriate parameters.
