Solve show solution 

An automotive type clutch, as shown in figure 18.2, has an inside diameter of 130
mm and an outside diameter of 220 mm. The clamping force is provided by 9 springs,
each compressed 7 mm to give a force (per spring) of 600 N when the clutch is new.
The molded friction material provides an estimated coefficient of friction of 0.6 when
in contact with the flywheel and pressure plate. The maximum torque provided by
the engine is 260 Nm.
a.) Even though the maximum torque produced by the engine is 260 Nm, the clutch
is capable of transferring significantly more torque when it is "new". What is the
maximum torque the "new" clutch can transfer?
b.) What is the “Safety Factor" with respect to slippage for a "new" clutch?
c.) Even though the maximum torque produced by the engine is 260 Nm, the clutch
is capable of transferring significantly more torque even after initial wear (break in)
has occurred. What is the maximum torque the "broken in" clutch can transfer?
d.) What is the "Safety Factor" with respect to slippage after initial wear (break in) has
occurred?
e.) How much can the clutch friction material wear (in units of mm) before the clutch
will begin to slip when maximum engine torque is being applied? (Assume the
coefficient of friction remains constant as the clutch wears.) (Hint: As the clutch
wears, the springs will be compressed less. Consequently, the clamping force
provided by the springs will decrease.
Partial Ans.
Flywheel
Clutch disk
Clutch pressure
plate assembly
Part b.) 2.229 Part d.) 2.181 Part e.) 3.790 mm
