변속기에서 발생하는 치타음을 클러치를 통하여 해결하려는 방법으로 자동차 중립시와 주행시 각기 다른 비틀림특성을 갖는 클러치를 대상으로 한 실험으로부터 엔진플라이휠, 인풋기어, 변속기 케이스의 진동을 측정하고 분석함으로써 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 자동차 중립시나 주행시에 수동변속기에서 발생하는 치타음은 클러치를 통하여 해결될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 클러치의 프리댐퍼와 메인댐퍼의 비틀림강성과 히스테리시스는 중립시와 주행시 치타음에 대해 각기 다른 특성을 갖게 되는데 메인 댐퍼만으로 구성된 클러치는 주행시에는 치타음을 제거하는데 효과적이지만 중립시에는 인풋기어의 비틀림 공진에 의하여 변속기가 가진되어 치타음이 발생하였다. 주행시 변속기 치타음 제거효과를 감소시키지 않고 중립시 변속기에서 발생하는 치타음을 제거하기 위해 메인댐퍼만으로 이루어진 클러치디스크에 프리댐퍼 부분을 첨가하여 보았는데 자동차 주행시의 치타음 제거효과를 유지하면서 중립시의 치타음을 제거시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

Damper springs in a drive-line absorb the impulsive torque generated when a lock-up clutch is connected directly, instead of via a fluid coupling. Design optimization and finite element analysis were performed to improve the shock- and vibration-absorption capacity of the lock-up clutch. For this purpose, a multi-body dynamics model was developed by including the main parts of a vehicle, such as an engine with a clutch, a transmission, drive shafts and wheels, and a whole mass of a vehicle. The spring constants were selected so that resonance of a system could be avoided. Damper springs were optimized on the basis of the spring constants, impulsive torques, compressed angles, spring counts, fatigue constraints, etc. Topology optimization was performed for three plates with the damper springs. The compliance was set up as an objective function, and volume fraction was fixed below 0.3. A new shape for the plates was proposed on the basis of the topology result.

Torque converter is a complex turbomachine used to transfer power smoothly from an engine to a transmission by lock-up clutch. A torque converter consists of the hydrodynamic clutch device and the lock-up clutch device. The retaining plate and driven plate are part of the lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch connects directly to achieve the improvement of efficiency and fuel consumption. In this paper, using structure analysis of stress distribution on the shape of the mechanical stopper on retaining plate. The shape of mechanical stopper has effect on the stress distribution of lock-up clutch.

According to torsional vibration characteristic of a damper clutch in auto-transmission, the input shaft system have occurred breakdown for the duration cycle and over-vibration happened on vehicle at specific condition. This paper describes the improvement of the torsional vibration of input shaft and the vehicle vibration by tuning of the damper clutch and suggests to the guide line about torsion characteristic on the design of damper clutch.

The input torque ripple induced by combustion engines is a significant source of NVH(noise, vibration and harshness) problem in automotive transmissions. Because this torque fluctuation is primarily transmitted to the input shaft of automotive powertrains(e.g., automatic transmissions) when the lock-up clutches are closed, a torsional damper with helical springs is generally inserted between engine and transmissions to isolate the input vibratory energy, which is essential for the passenger comfort. The torsional vibration isolator exhibits frequency ranges in which there is low vibration transmissibility. However, the isolation performance is currently evaluated through the static torsional spring characteristics. In this study, the transmissibility of torsional spring dampers, essential dynamic performance index for vibration isolator, is first experimentally evaluated.

This study analyzes harmonic vibration with natural frequency according to the configuration of damper clutch. In the case of double spring, equivalent stress at same direction of the revolution at inner and outer coil spring is over 30% as compared with at its opposite direction. Natural frequency or harmonic response with maximum deformation in case of the less coil pitch is below 3Hz as compared with in case of the more coil pitch. As the coil pitch of damper spring as the case 2 or 4 becomes smaller, its mass and deformation can be large. In these cases, spring constant and natural frequency become smaller. In the case 5 or 6 of double spring at natural vibration or harmonic response, the frequency becomes over 300Hz. As the result of this study is applied by the design of damper spring, the damage at its connected part is prevented and the durability can be predicted.

Torsion mode or bending mode of drive-line for rear-wheel drive vehicle exists in low frequency band. If resonance exists there between natural mode of driveline and powertrain excitation force, drive-line will manifest excessive vibration response. Also, the vibration response can be transmitted to vehicle body and can induce booming noise. A vehicle in this study exhibits a booming noise problem under specific transmission gear condition. To draw performance improvement plan, finite element analysis technique was used. Modification was evaluated qualitatively and priorities were derived. Finally, effectiveness of best modification was verified through test and full vehicle FE analysis.

The clutch system is a subcomponent of the transmission that is designed to engage and disengage power flow between the engine and the transmission. Recently, the engine power of automobile has been continuously increased because of customer's demand for the bigger one. As the engine power is increased, the vibration transmitted to the hydraulic clutch operating system has been increased. Therefore the demand for the reduction of clutch pedal vibration during the operation has been increased. This paper describes the pressure pulsation reduction characteristics of the damper cylinder which is applied to the hydraulic clutch operating system. And the purpose of this study is to propose an analysis model and investigate the effect of the design variable variations for the hydraulic clutch system. Especially, we studied the effect of damper cylinder parameter variations on the hydraulic clutch system performance.
