Abstract

Clutch disc
transmits the torque by frictional forces from the engine to transmission. For
this purpose, clutch disc includes some components such a Belleville spring to
provide vibration dampening. Belleville springs are used in order to perform
hysteresis function of disc assembly by creating frictional torque into clutch
system. Hysteresis function of disc is needed to absorb oscillations and
prevent noise issues. Belleville spring geometrical shape is critically
important and it defines load characteristic. A load of Belleville spring mainly
depends on dimensions of inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness, angle, and
slot dimensions. This study investigates the single and multi-objective
optimization methodology in the automotive clutch system design. This novel
methodology presents the design development approach to powertrain system
components.
