Abstracts: The clutch is one of the main components in automobiles. The engine power transmitted to the system through the clutch. The failure of such a critical component during service can stall the whole application. The Finite Element Analysis providing a means for non-destructive analysis, which is used to analyze the clutch plate. The results from the FEA are accurate and hence being used worldwide for design and research engineers. The driven plate used in AMW heavy load Vehicle is analyzed in this work. The driven plate fails normally during its operation due to cyclic loading. This project explains the structural design analysis of the clutch plate and find out the failure region by doing static analysis in ANSYS software. The 3D model of clutch plate will be drafted using SOLIDWORKS software and analysis of the plate will be done for static loading condition in ANSYS. This project also suggests some design modification to the company to improve the life of the clutch plate. Hence a proposed title for the project is, “ DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH FOR HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE ”.
