With the development of the automobile industry, technologies for parts of an automobile with more convenient functions have progressed, but the manual clutch developed at the first phase of inventing means of transport still remains at the early stage of the automatic transmission despite numerous research and efforts. The traditional automatic transmission is mainly used in small cars and personal RV vehicles that include the slipped clutch disk. However, this research seeks an innovative technology that can be applied to all types of transportation operating the clutch, such as small cars, large vehicles, farm machines and vessels. In order to accurately decide the joint timing of the clutch disk according to the output of engine power that differs depending on driving conditions of vehicles, and to apply the half clutch state which frequently occurs in the manual transmission, the rpm of the engine can be used as the base to decide the joint timing of the clutch disk. This research has developed an electronic clutch module that can transmit the engine power by moving and jointing the clutch disk as much as the engine rpm increases.

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.

In this study, the failure of the automotive clutch disk was investigated. During the process of power transmission, clutch disk plates did repeated work of releasing and engaging the pressure plate. The effects of unbalance rotation in the abnormal vibration and torque amplitude under engaged state were measured from this experiment. In order to reduce the unbalance, a modified clutch disk shape was developed. With a three-dimensional model of the stopper pin, to predict fatigue fracture, finite element analysis was carried out and evaluated the improvement of the new clutch disk.

자동차 엔진의 주기적인 연소과정 동아네 생성된 힘에 의해 엔진의 크랭크 샤프트에 회전 불균일성이 나타난다. 이것은 엔진 플라이휘일 부분에 비틀림 변동토크를 발생시키고, 이 토크는 클러치를 통하여 변속기의 인풋기어(input gear)에 전달되어 변속기에 비틀림 진동을 일으키는 주요 원인이 된다. 공회전시 변속기에서 기어의 충돌은 주로 이 비틀림 변동토크에 의해 발생하며, 이 충돌은 차내 소음의 원인이 된다. 또한 엔진의 경량화 및 고출력화에 따른 회전수 변동의 증가는 비틀림 변동토크를 증가시켜 변속기에 커다란 진동을 초래한다. 시뮬레이션을 사용한 클러치 비틀림 기구의 적절한 특성치를 구하는 것은 클러치 설계에 효율적이고, 이미 여러 연구 결과들이 보고되었다. H.Arai은 2자유도 비선형 모델을 사용하여 클러치 접속시 발생하는 외란과 계의 안정성을 고려하여 치타음 저감을 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, S.Ohnuma은 비선형 2단 비틀림 특성을 가진 클러치 디스크의 설계에 대해서, 그리고, T.Fujimoto와 R.J.Comparin는 치타음의 발생구조와 특성을 고찰하고 비선형 비틀림 공진 저감에 의한 치타음 저감 기법에 대하여 연구하였다. 그리고, Wu Hui-Le는 자동차 동력전달계의 비틀림 진동 현상을 실험과 이론적인 계산을 통해 연구하였고, G.J.Fudala는 다자유도 모델을 이용하여 클러치의 비틀림 특성에 따라 주파수분석을 수행하여 치타음 저감 방법을 연구하였다. 또한, T.Sakai는 5자유도 모델을 이용하여 엔진 공회전시 발생하는 치타음에 대해 이론과 실험을 통해 해석하고, 엔진 회전수 변동, 클러치 특성, 변속기의 드래그(drag) 토크의 영향과 치타음 저감을 위한 개선된 클러치 특성을 제시하였다. 클러치는 동력을 전달 또는 차단하는 기능 뿐만 아니라 엔진이나 변속기에서 발생하는 소음이나 진동을 저감시키는 기능을 가지고 있다. 따라서 엔진 공회전시에 발생하는 치타음(rattle noise)이나 비틀림 진동을 저감시키는 방법으로는 여러가지가 있으나 클러치 디스크(clutch disc)의 비틀림 기구의 설계 인자들을 적절히 조절함으로써 변속기의 인풋기어에 전달되는 비틀림 진동을 저감시키는 방법이 일반적으로 수행되어지고 있다. 본 연구는 4 실린더 4 싸이클 1.5L 엔진을 장착한 경승용차의 실차실험을 통해 공회전시 엔진 플라이휘일과 인풋기어에서의 회전수 변동을 측정하고, 이 실험 데이타를 기초로 하여 엔진 토크 및 변속기에서의 드래그 토크를 계산하여 엔진-변속기 인풋기어의 반한정계 2자유도 진동모델과 비틀림 특성을 가진 클러치 디스크의 프리댐퍼 영역에 대해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 클러치 비틀림 기구의 설계인자인 비틀림 강성, 히스테리시스 토크에 따른 비틀림 진동 저감 효과를 연구하고자 한다.

The non-periodic fluctuation of the engine torque appears to be the major source of the torsional vibration of the automotive driveline. The reduction of this torsional vibration has become a significant problem along with the requirements of higher performance. The torsional vibration of the automotive driveline can be reduced by smoothing the fluctuation by adjusting the torsional characteristics of the clutch-disc. Computer simulation of the driveline is a useful investigative tool on studying the torsional characteristics of the clutch-disc. In this paper, a dynamic model for the automotive driveline was developed, and the engine torque of the model were evaluated with experimental data. By executing a simulation using the model, it has become possible to obtain the clutch-disc torsional characteristics for reducting the torsional vibration at creeping.

The purpose of this paper is to study and analyze the failure examples for fire by friction on clutch, manual transmission and tire system in a car. In the first example, the driver took the pedal with foot to act the clutch. But the clutch disk did not return from flywheel by leakage of clutch hydraulic line. The heat was produced between clutch disk and flywheel by surface contacting. As a result, it was produced the fire by oil sludge sticked with transmission. In the second example, the transmission system was operated to transfer power of engine by contacting with gear and gear. But, as if the oil of transmission was caused the oil insufficiency because of leaking by crack of transmission case, it found the fact that was produced the fire by deposit material on transmission case. In the third example, when the car's driver continuously pushed an accelerator pedal for escaping from dry pit, the tire took the heat by the friction force between tire and surface of road. As a result, it became the direct cause for the fire. Therefore the driver must manage not to produce the fire with friction parts by heating during running.

4WD technology is being actively applied to passenger cars. Therefore, dry multi-plate clutches are used for transfer cases. On the other hand, dry clutches have problems related to large vibrations and poor ride quality. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a multi-plate clutch with an MR fluid. When fastening the multi-plate clutch in the transfer case, the proposed MR clutch was applied to reduce the shock and friction, which is a key component in a four-wheel-drive system. MR multi-plate clutch has a fluid coupling mode and a compression mode. A torque model equation was derived for the optimal design. The analysis was performed using Ansys Maxwell to optimize the design parameters of the multi-plate clutch. Electromagnetic field analysis confirmed the strength of the magnetic field when the number of disks and plates were changed, and the maximum strength of the magnetic field was 0.45 Tesla. By applying this to the torque equation, the spacing between the plates was 2 mm, and the inner and outer diameters of the plates were selected to be 45 mm and 55 mm, respectively. Overall, this paper proposes an optimal design technique to maximize the performance of an MR multi-plate clutch.

In automotive industries, various processes for the cost reduction have been investigated lively. As one of them, powder metallurgy becomes influential. Compared to other methods used for he manufacture of steel components the Powder metallurgy process is competitive primarily due to the small number of production steps to reach the final geometry and thereby also the energy-efficiency. In this paper, to alter present forging process into powder metallurgy process by which the automotive clutch disc spline hub is manufactured machining process, the mechanical properties of sintered materials is investigated by specimen test. Selecting the 3 kinds of materials-SMF 4040, SMF 9060 and DHP-1, their properties according to heat treatment such as carburizing -tempering and plasma-nitrodizing are compared. By result of specimen test - tensile test, compression ring test, Impacting test, measurment of hardness, and microstructure analysis - we concluded that SMF 9060 and carburizing-tempering heat treatment is an optimal material and heat treatment method for the spline hub. It will be able to reduce manufacturing cost and weight.
