    Buckling and postbuckling of automotive clutch disks can be excited by the temperature fields caused by frictional heat generation during engagement of clutch systems. Linear and nonlinear buckling finite element analyses are performed to evaluate the thermal postbuckling of clutch metal disks. The dominant buckling modes are first obtained through performing linear buckling finite element analysis (FEA) analyses. The scaled displacement fields obtained from the linear buckling FEA analyses are added to the original geometries to generate the perturbed meshes. The postbuckling is then investigated by performing nonlinear buckling FEA analyses. The commercial FEA software ABAQUS is used in the current study. The effects of the temperature-dependent material properties are studied. It is concluded that the temperature dependence of material properties affects the postbuckling behaviors significantly.
