Abstract
Dynamics of the driveline and the vehicle during clutch engagement is a complex phenomenon. Time domain analysis of different state variables is performed through numerical solution of sixth-order driveline model using an indigenous computer program. The study revealed that different design objectives like driver and passenger comfort, smoothness of engagement, wear of friction surfaces, power loss, and heat generation are in mutual conflict, with respect to the sub-ranges of operational parameters. The overall outcome of this study is presented in the form of a matrix, relating the sub-ranges of operational parameters with engagement quality parameters, which may be used as a guideline for clutch design for different design objectives. The engagement quality parameters may also be used for building a cost function for overall optimization of clutch.
