오늘날 산업용 차량은 대부분 유압식 클러치를 채택하여 사용하고 있다 유압식 클러치는 운전자가 손쉽게 엔진으로부터 동력을 바퀴까지 전달 또는 차단하는 기능을 갖고 있기 때문이다. 차량속도에 대한 운전자의 다양한 요구는 다수의 변속 단수를 갖는 기어트레인이나 연속가변식 변속기(CVT) 원하고 있다. 그 중에 기어단을 단속하는 클러치는 엔진의 회전력과 차량 관성력을 효과적으로 연결 또는 차단을 위해 다수의 마찰판과 유체압력을 이용하여 작동된다. 유압식 클러치는 동작방식에 따라서 유체압력이 작동하면 동력을 전달하는 POSITIVE방식과 자체 탄성 스프링력에 의해서 동력을 전달하는 NEGATIVE방식이 있다. POSITIVE방식 유압식 클러치는 동력전달시 어큐뮬레이터를 이용하여 충격을 줄이고, 부하 변동시 승차감각을 향상할 수 있는 장점이 있다 TRX500 트랙터에 사용되는 유압식 클러치는 POSITIVE방식을 채택하고 있다. (중략)

In this study, the flow analyses were performed on the fluid clutch turbine blade shapes of models 1, 2 and 3, with eight turbine blades tilted at 45 °, 40 °, and 35 ° angles on the propulsion shaft, respectively. The larger the angle of inclination on the propulsion shaft, the higher the flow pressure among the flow models after the back of the turbine blades. On the other hand, the smaller the angle of inclination on the propulsion shaft of the turbine wing, the lower the flow rate. It can be seen that the smaller inclination angle of the turbine blade surface on the propulsion shaft, i.e., the wing shape close to perpendicular to the flow of fluid, is more suitable for efficiently connecting and disconnecting the fluid clutch. By applying the flow analysis by type of turbine blade of fluid clutch,the study result at this paper is considered to be favorable as the convergent research material which can apply the aesthetic design.

In this wort ER(electro-rheological) clutch and MR(magneto-rheological) clutch are devised and their performance characteristics such as response time and controllability are compared. As a first step, field-dependent yield stresses of ER and MR fluids are distilled in shear mode. For reasonable comparison between two clutches, a nondimensional design model is established by choosing same design parameters of gap size and number. Following the manufacturing of two clutches, field-dependent torque level, response time to step input, mechanical Power generation to electric power consumption are experimentally measured and compared. In addition, in order to investigate torque controllability of the clutches a sliding mode controller is formulated and experimentally realized. Control bandwidths of two clutches are identified and tracking control responses for desired torque trajectories are presented.

Torque converter is a complex turbomachine used to transfer power smoothly from an engine to a transmission by lock-up clutch. A torque converter consists of the hydrodynamic clutch device and the lock-up clutch device. The retaining plate and driven plate are part of the lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch connects directly to achieve the improvement of efficiency and fuel consumption. In this paper, using structure analysis of stress distribution on the shape of the mechanical stopper on retaining plate. The shape of mechanical stopper has effect on the stress distribution of lock-up clutch.

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.

This study is a basic one for application of ER Fluid to fluid power systems. By mixing silicone oil with zeolite particles, four kinds of ER fluids were made, in which the weight ratio of zeolite particles are different. We examined how the Yield shear stress and Bingham characteristics of the ER fluids are effected by varying electric field intensity. We designed and constructed a disk type power transmission clutch in which ER fluid fills and this ER fluid transmits the power of drive shaft to the driven shaft. With this equipment, the revolution transmission ratio from the chive shaft to the driven shaft by varying electric field density of the ER fluid was examined.

An MRC(Magneto-rheological Clutch) has a great potential of application because of its good transmissibility, little wear-out and fast response to electrical control signal. Though many MRCs have been developed for years, there has not been an research on the method to predict the performance of MRC except the simplified mathematical models. But the simplified mathematical models do not fit well since their performance has close relations with shapes of clutches and viscosity distribution throughout the fluids caused by applied magnetic fields. in this study, the CFD and FEM analyses were applied to various shape of MRC and the methods were examined in experiments.
