Abstract：In order to reduce the drag torque under high speed conditions,the equivalent radius is intro-duced into the traditional low speed torque model of a wet clutch with track vehicle,and the calculation model of the drag torque with radial groove is derived.An optimization design model is established with 3 working con-dition parameters of the clutch and 5 structural parameters of the friction plate as design variables,and the min-imum drag torque as the optimization objective.The objective function is solved based on the whale optimiza-tion algorithm(WOA),and the drag torque is reduced by 35.6％after optimization.The dynamic response mod-el of the objective function is established by Simulink software,and the optimization results are verified.The re-sults show that the optimization method is effective and can provide some reference for structural design and pa-rameter optimization of wet clutches.
