Multi-Disc clutch, consisting of alternate steel & bronze plates, is used to transmit 10kW power at 1440 rpm. Design the clutch (shaft diameter, spline design, friction plate dimensions, lever, spring).

Part A: Design of shaft and splines

1) Transmitted Torque

$M_{t}=\frac{97400 \mathrm{kW}}{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{97400 \times 10}{1440}=676.38 \mathrm{kg} f \mathrm{cm}$

$M_{t}=67638 \mathrm{Nm} \mathrm{m}$ …
