Wear and Compressibility of Hybrid Composite Clutch

Abstract

Clutch friction plate is an important part in the transmission of power in all rotating parts. To have a good view of the way it works many studies that have been made . In this research a Polymer hybrid composite have been blended to study wear and compressive ability of the composite .it has been shown that sample (4) have the highest stress value with smallest strain value. sample (3) showed a convenient stress with very good strain tolerance. The study has revealed that the rate of wear and tear decreases in the case of reinforcing the base material(Novelac) which mean an increase in wear resistance, especially with the increase in the percent of kevlar fiber aramid 49 to (40%-50%),where it was found that the lowest values of wear rate was in the sample (4).
