Numerical Simulation of Thermal Conditions in the Oil-Cooled Friction Multidisc Clutch of a Power-Intensive Wheel Tractor. Part 1: Problem Formulation

摘要

Numerical study is performed of the effect of the inertial force parameters on the thermal conditions of a multidisc oil-cooled friction clutch of a rear power take-off shaft of a power-intensive wheel tractor. A system of differential equations is shown of the dynamics of slippage of the driven and driving disks when the clutch is actuated and it is solved numerically with the Runge - Kutt method. An initial boundary problem is formulated describing the thermal processes in the package of disks when friction heats the clutch; it is solved numerically with the finite elements method.
