A Ballooning Phenomenon of Torque Converter Torus Size for Automatic Transmissions

Automatic Measurement of Shape Parameters for Hydraulic Torque Converter

In this paper, the automatic measurement method of the Hydraulic Torque Converter shape parameters is studied. Aiming at the defects of the traditional manual measurement method, the solution for measuring the shape parameters of Hydraulic Torque Converter with the automatic measurement system is proposed on the basis of in-depth analysis for the Hydraulic Torque Converter shape parameters’ cha...

Modeling Torque Converter Characteristics in Automatic Drivelines: Lock-up Clutch and Engine Braking Simulation

A torque converter, which is a hydrodynamic clutch in automatic transmissions, transmits power from the engine shaft to the transmission shaft either by dynamically multiplying the engine torque or by rigidly coupling the engine and transmission shafts. The torque converter is a critical element in the automatic driveline, and it affects the vehicle’s fuel consumption and longitudinal dynamics....

Design and Development of a Segmented Magnet Homopolar Torque Converter

investigation and dynamic analysis of torque converter operation

in this research, the total torque input and output shafts were subjected to are used to formulate twodifferential equations using applied dynamics and fluid mechanics. the equations show that the input andoutput torques are a function of the constant geometrical parameters of a torque converter, includinginternal and external diameters of vanes, angle and length of vanes, cross section area be...

The Kinematic Design of Automatic Gear Transmissions for Bicycles

Recently, bicycles are used as exercising machines and traffic vehicles. Planetary gear trains can be used as the transmission systems for bicycles. The purpose of this work is to propose a design methodology for the kinematic design of automatic gear transmissions with planetary gear trains for bicycles. First, applying the check list method (combining and extending methods), the design concep...
