Abstracts: Clutch system is among the main systems inside a vehicle. Clutch is a mechanical device located between a vehicle engine and its transmission and provides mechanical coupling between the engine and transmission input shaft. Clutch system comprise of flywheel, clutch disc plate and friction material, pressure plate, clutch cover, diaphragm spring and the linkage necessary to operate the clutch. The clutch engages the transmission gradually by allowing a certain amount of slippage between the flywheel and the transmission input shaft. However, the slipping mechanism of the clutch generates heat energy due to friction between the clutch disc and the flywheel. The problems of failure in clutch plate cover during running condition of vehicle. To avoid cover failure in clutch plate, design has to be modified. In this project, the modeling of clutch is done in AutoCAD. After that the steady-state thermal & static structural for old and modified design is obtain by using ANSYS analysis.
