You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...

The twin disc clutch is now gaining popularity mainly due to the stupid amount of 21st century power car crafters are making. This puts the arm on transmissions, torque converters, and especially ...

It used to be a 500hp street car was a big deal. Today, even a stock LS9 Corvette makes 648 net horsepower straight off the showroom floor, and a real 700hp (or more) hot rod is not uncommon. The rise ...

When you're gunning your car down the road, a lot of variables have to converge properly in order to complete that fast and furious gear change. Putting the power to the transmission means relying on ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

Friction dynamics in wet clutch systems represent a critical field of study in automotive and mechanical engineering, where precise control of heat, torque, and wear processes is essential for optimal ...

With the LS2 V-8 and Tremec six-speed waiting on the workbench, it was high time to pick the perfect clutch for our Camaro project. We asked the experts to demystify the process. When piecing together ...
