Sensitivity analysis of dog clutch shiftability to system parameters

Abstract Previous studies introduced the shiftability condition for successful gearshift, based on dog clutch kinematics model containing several parameters. This study analyzes effect of these parameters shiftability. A method to impact is proposed. The influence chosen parameter domains shown. Their recognized map and engagement probability. initial relative position showed a periodic within one pitch region. teeth number, axial speed, backlash positively affected probability, while mismatch speed overlap distance negative effect. analysis lower limit values but higher distance.
