Finite Element Analysis for Wave Spring of Multi-Disc Wet Clutch Based on ANSYS
Wave spring is a key component of multi-disc wet clutch and the response speed and running quality of multi-disc wet clutch is affected by its characteristics. This paper analyses the theoretical calculation of load-deformation relationship of wave spring. The load-deformation relationship of wave spring is obtained by ANSYS10.0 software according to its structural characteristics and actual boundary condition and compared with the calculated results based on different methods and the measured value, and then study the effect of the wave number on the load-deformation relationship of wave spring. The results show that the calculated value of finite element analysis (FEM) is closer to the measured value and the FEM has more advantages on simulation of the working performance of wave spring.
