3.7 The clutch plates of a multiple-disc clutch composed of 8 pairs of friction surfaces are 160 mm outside diame- ter and 110 mm inside diameter. If the coefficient of fric- tion is 0,12 and the axial force on the plates provided by 6 springs is 1 450 N, determine (a) the torque capacity of this clutch assuming (i) uniform wear and (ii) uniform pressure; [93,96 N.m; 95 N.m] and (b) what power can be transmitted at 1 600 r/min. [15,744kW] (c) If the stiffness of each of the 6 springs is 15 kN/m and each of the contact surfaces is worn by 0,5 mm, what is the new power that can be transmitted at the same r/min? [15,25 kW] 3.8
