Abstract: “Clutch disc hub is provide torque transmission between clutch disc drive plate and gearbox input shaft. Therefore disc hub is expected to show high endurance and storage under high torsional forces The aim of this paper is to investigate shock strength of a clutch disc hub numerically with finite element analysis. There are many engine and transmission elements in vehicle such as connecting rods, engine gears, bearing caps and clutch hubs need to have high resistance under high forces during driving conditions. In this study a clutch hub models shock strength simulation was obtained by finite element analysis with powder material and steel (will be produced by machining). Depending on the clutch hub geometry and materials such as powder materials and steel, the absorbed energies were calculated with finite element method and comparison between two materials were investigated.”
