Centrifugal Clutch Study

For this analysis, I was asked to calculate the deflection of the arm of a centrifugal clutch based on angular rotation. To do so, I developed equations to calculate the deflection of the clutch as a function of the rotational speed.

Within the FEA model, parts of the clutch model were cut away to make the analysis simpler. Which parts were cutaway is shown on the first page of the report.
