Most of us don't get to choose what kind of clutch sits between the crankshaft and the transmission – that decision has already been made on the factory floor. So whether your clutch is as wet as a ...

The dual-disc clutch—often called a twin-disc or multi-disc clutch—is designed to increase holding power over an OE-style single-disc clutch. Not to be confused with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), ...

The life of the clutch, being an integral component of the transmission, directly impacts the gearbox's stability. A finite element model and a thermodynamic numerical method of a multi-disc clutch ...

It used to be a 500hp street car was a big deal. Today, even a stock LS9 Corvette makes 648 net horsepower straight off the showroom floor, and a real 700hp (or more) hot rod is not uncommon. The rise ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

Drag torque in wet clutches arises from the viscous shearing of lubricants in the narrow gaps between clutch plates, and it represents a significant source of power loss in automotive and industrial ...

You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...
