//To find dimensions of contact surfaces clc //Given: alpha=30/2 //degrees pn=0.35 //N/mm^2 P=22.5*1000 //W N=2000 //rpm mu=0.15 //Solution: //Calculating the angular speed of the clutch omega=2*%pi*N/60 //rad/s //Calculating the torque transmitted by the clutch T=P/omega*1000 //N-mm //Calculating the mean radius of the contact surface R=(T/(2*%pi*mu*pn/3))^(1/3) //mm //Calculating the face width of the contact surface b=R/3 //Calculating the outer and inner radii of the contact surface //Refer Fig. 10.27 //We have, r1-r2 = b*sind(alpha), and r1+r2 = 2*R A=[1 -1; 1 1] B=[b*sind(alpha); 2*R] V=A \ B r1=V(1) //mm r2=V(2) //mm //Results: printf("\n\n Mean radius of the contact surface, R = %d mm.\n",R) printf(" Outer radius of the contact surface, r1 = %.2f mm.\n",r1) printf(" Inner radius of the contact surface, r2 = %.2f mm.\n\n",r2)
