Clutch control during starting of AMT

An Adaptive Optimal Process Control of Clutch for AMT with the Use of ADAMS

A dynamic model of a manipulative machine for automobile clutch is setup in ADAMS and further analysis is made to an automatic clutch for AMT. Since the engaging process of clutch is complex and related to riding performance and life span of friction plate, it has to be researched intensively using modern control theory. Adaptive control is effective to avoid engine flameout, which guarantees s...

Automated Clutch of AMT Vehicle Based on Adaptive Generalized Minimum Variance Controller

Due to the influence of non-linear dynamic characteristic of clutch, external disturbance and parameter variation, the automated clutch is hard to control precisely during the engaging process of the automated clutch of automatic mechanical transmission vehicle. In this paper, adaptive generalized minimum variance controller is applied to the automated clutch which is driven by a brushless DC m...

Sliding mode control of a dual clutch during launch

The Automated Manual Transmission was introduced in vehicles to improve driving comfort, performances and fuel efficiency compared with manual transmissions. In this system, the management of the clutch is a key point especially when considering driving comfort. In this paper, we propose a control law for clutch engagement based on sliding mode control. The goal is to ensure a smooth clutch eng...

Clutch-to-clutch Shift Control of an Automatic Transmission with Proportional Pressure Control Valves

For a new kind of automatic transmissions using proportional pressure valves to control the clutches directly, a two-degree-of-freedom controller is designed for clutch slip control during the inertia phase of the shift process. The controller is designed based on a low order linear model which is derived from dynamics of the proportional pressure control valve and the vehicle drive line. The f...
