Agenda
Project - Topic
The problem was to model the outcome from thermo-shock test for clutches
in the ANSYS Workbench (FEA software). Precisely, to get the same results
(e.g. deflections, cracks etc.) as seen in thermo-shock test
Automotive clutch

Overview of test
Thermo-shock test
The goal of the test is to verify the pressure plate/flywheel strength durability
mounted in the clutch plate during an energy overload of 15 sec.
