This work presents the wear and life of single plate clutch system for this we have selected three clutch plate and made there 3D model with help of reverse engineering and then we perform steady and transient analysis on Ansys software. Selected plate is generally selected on their wear dependence first plate is totally new and another plate is totally old (or Replaced one) but third plate is intermediate. For the analysis of these plate we added two presser plate of the same dimensional parameter. For predicting the life of clutch plate we have search the dependency of the clutch plate on various parameter and we found that our life is generally depend on two parameter first parameter is operator operation and second parameter is heat produce by the clutch plate. Our major consideration here about heat production in clutch plate and we are analyse our model depends up on this concept. When we analyse three deferent clutches we found that new clutch has good friction and grip but there is heat production is also very fast that effect the clutch plate life very rapid but after some KM run plate behaviour is change heat production in plate is reduce and small slip occur during engagement, here we also found due to less heat production our clutch life improve and these clutch hold their life for long time, But when we are considering the totally wear plate we found that there contact surface increase and friction also decrease with respect to the previous to plate but heat generation is very high due to continuous slip occurring in between the pressure plate and clutch. Here we are comparing heat produce in clutch plate to define the remaining life and uses of clutch plate in Ansys, and we found replaced plate has more heat produce due to slip and access contact. For reducing the wear we have to increase our material property and their bonding capacity because excessive heat generation in plate generally effect it first.
