Clutch is a mechanical device located between a vehicle engine and its transmission and provides mechanicalcoupling between the engine and transmission input shaft. Multi plate clutch is one of the important part in the powertransmission systems. Good design of clutch provides better engine performance. Multi plate clutch is most widely used inATV's,racing cars and heavy duty vehicle where high torque transmission required and limited space is available. The multiplate clutch has modelled in NX 9 software and imported in ANSYS Workbench 15. The structural analysis has been carriedout for friction material clutch plate. The result of friction materials is based on the static and dynamic analysis, stress andtotal deformation and temperature variation and heat flux of the friction plate.Uniform wear theory were used for theanalysis. The Grey Cast Iron and Kevlar 49 friction material are compared based on the total deformation of the clutch plateto find the better lining material.The Von Mises stress has been determined by varying the friction surfaces material-GreyCast Iron and Kevlar 49.After that the FEM analysis is done for Kevlar friction material. The stresses & deformationobtained for this friction material is then compared to analysis software result. The analysis is done for worn out frictiondisc. By extracting the result we found that Kevlar49 as friction material solve this difficulty.
