The lubricant squeeze action was simulated with Patir and Cheng average flow model in which the permeability of friction material is taken into account, and the asperity load is calculated according to the Greenwood and Tripp approach. In this model, effects of friction material permeability, applied load and driving velocity on the engagement characteristics of the wet clutch were studied. The results show that friction material with high permeability reduces the film thickness rapidly and increases the torque peak; the applied load increases the asperity contact pressure and the friction torque, and reduces the engagement time; the driving velocity mainly increases the engagement time. The theoretical torque and relative velocity curves agree qualitatively with the experimental ones, which verifies the wet clutch engagement model.展开更多

It considers both jerk and slipping work which are the most commonly used quality evaluating indexes of vehicle starting phase. The adaptive control system and its reference model are discussed profoundly. Taking the adaptability to different starting gears and different road conditions as examples, some proving field test records are shown to illustrate the main clutch adaptive control strategy at starting phase. Proving field test gives acceptable results.展开更多
