Abstract
The clutch control is one of the cores and most difficult issues in the development of an AMT system. In this paper the pneumatic clutch engagement characteristic is analyzed. Thereto, a simulation model of an automotive powertrain comprises a diesel engine, drivetrain and wheels driving a vehicle through tire-road adhesion are built using Matlab/Simulink. In the simulation, a refined control law of constant engine speed in part process is proposed and tested. The engaging speed and displacement of the clutch vary with the accelerate paddle opening, engine speed, clutch driven plate speed and gears according the control law. Field experiment results show that the control strategy fulfills the system requirements.
