Abstract
The experimentally observed, two-stage wear in the wet clutch friction material is directly related to temperature and engagement load. To gain insight into the durability of the friction lining, an extensive parametric analysis of the factors is performed that takes into account different groove patterns (waffle shape, radial, and spiral), internal structure and material properties. The temperature field is predicted using a thermohydrodynamic analysis with the consideration of the asperity contact stress during the engagement process. The results should be useful to facilitate the industrial design of friction lining by avoiding costly wear test.
