Clutch
components rotating at high speed remains under the influence of high
centrifugal forces. Therefore; it should be known that the speed at which
damage will begin. For this purpose, the burst test is performed. Besides this
test by using finite element method, this test could be done in virtual
environments. Thus, it is saving time and money. This paper presents an
approach for validation process of tractor clutch cover. Firstly the real burst
test setup is defined and the test conditions are
described. Secondly developed finite element model which simulate the real test
conditions is defined. As a result of the study, the tractor clutch cover stays
durable at 6560 rpm. When it is compared real working conditions the safety
factor of 3.5 is calculated for the clutch cover.
