GRAPH:  Using Ansys software by applying torque on the

plate we get max stress, total deformation and
Maximum strain max strain values.
Stainless  The stainless steel material of 6mm hole diameter
Total deformation (mm) steel shows the maximum torque of 32.0475083 KN-
Maximum stress (MPa) mm and low deformation of 0.17093 mm as
Structur compare to 7mm hole diameter.

Torque  Hence we can conclude that the friction clutch
plate containing 6mm diameter hole applied with
0 50 Structural steel material is showing best results.
