Predicting the launch feel of automatic and dual clutch transmissions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Powertrain Dynamics Library (PTDynamics) has been developed using a new approach to modelling the mechanics of rotating MultiBody systems. This paper will highlight the recent developments within the PTDynamics library with a focus on the dynamic torque converter and wet clutch models that enable the prediction of the launch feel of automatic and dual clutch transmission equipped vehicles. Two examples are presented: one that compares the effect of oil temperature on the initial launch of a vehicle with a dual wet-clutch transmission; and a second that compares the behaviour of steady state and dynamic torque converter models.

H∞ gearshift control of a dual clutch based on uncertain TS models
The dual clutch transmission was introduced in vehicles to improve driving comfort compared with manual transmissions, and performances, fuel efficiency compared with automatic transmissions. The dual clutch transmission allows to shift gears quickly, comfortably and without interruption in traction. In the dual clutch transmission, the management of the dual clutch in the gearshift phase is a ...
متن کاملSliding mode control of a dual clutch during launch
The Automated Manual Transmission was introduced in vehicles to improve driving comfort, performances and fuel efficiency compared with manual transmissions. In this system, the management of the clutch is a key point especially when considering driving comfort. In this paper, we propose a control law for clutch engagement based on sliding mode control. The goal is to ensure a smooth clutch eng...
متن کاملExperimental characterization of the sliding friction of a degrading wet friction clutch
Wet friction clutches have become widely used in today’s transmissions, e.g. automatic transmissions, dual clutch transmissions, etc. It is known that the central role of this particular component is strongly determined by its friction characteristics. While a clutch is in use, degradation inevitably takes place that consequently deteriorates its friction characteristics. However, to the author...
متن کاملSimulation and investigation of the effect of oil flow rate, electric signal of flow control valve and controller on the performance of a wet clutch
The using of wet clutches and hydraulic control devices causes a smoothly torque transfer. In this study, a wet clutch was simulated in Simulink MATLAB software. Firstly the mechanical section of the clutch was modeled and then the hydraulic section was simulated with the addition of electric flow control valve and inlet and outlet of oil flow. Finally, the effects of oil flow rate, electric s...
متن کاملGearshift control for dry dual-clutch transmissions
In this paper a smooth control algorithm for gear shifting is proposed for improving longitudinal dynamic performance during dry dual-clutch engagements while shifting up or down takes place based on measurements of engine speed and clutch speed, and on estimation of the dual-clutch engaging torque. Simulation effort is made by Matlab/Simulink for transient responses of the overall propulsion s...
