The Choice of the Optimal Number of Discs in an MR Clutch from the Viewpoint of Different Criteria and Constraints

This paper focuses on magnetorheological clutches (MR clutches) with a disc structure that can be designed as one-disc or multi-disc clutches (number of discs: N = 1, N > 2). The main goal of the paper is to compare their overall dimensions (lengths and radii), masses, volumes, and characteristic...
