//To find dimensions of clutch plate clc //Given: P=7.5*1000 //W N=900 //rpm p=0.07 //N/mm^2 mu=0.25 n=2 //Solution: //Calculating the angular speed of the clutch omega=2*%pi*N/60 //rad/s //Calculating the torque transmitted T=P/omega*1000 //N-mm //Calculating the mean radius of the friction lining R=(T/(%pi/2*n*mu*p))^(1/3) //mm //Calculating the face width of the friction lining w=R/4 //mm //Calculating the outer and inner radii of the clutch plate //We have, w = r1-r2, or r1-r2 = w .....(i) //Also, R = (r1+r2)/2, or r1+r2 = 2*R .....(ii) A=[1 -1; 1 1] B=[w; 2*R] V=A \ B r1=V(1) r2=V(2) //Results: printf("\n\n Mean radius of the friction lining, R = %d mm.\n",R) printf(" Face width of the friction lining, w = %.2f mm.\n",w) printf(" Outer radius of the clutch plate, r1 = %.3f mm.\n",r1) printf(" Inner radius of the clutch plate, r2 = %.3f mm.\n\n",r2)
