The finite element programs have been developed for structure, collision, flow, dynamics, heat transfer, acoustics, electromagnetism, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), and etc. These programs can be classified as either "package" program or "single purpose" program. Single purpose programs usually have convenient and powerful functions, but these programs have limited expandability to different fields of analysis. Therefore, the method to converter the analysis results of single purpose program to other programs is needed. In the research, multi-body data conversion methods of 1) finite element model and 2) solid model were created to convert fluid analysis result of CFD-ACE+ to ANSYS data structure. Automatic boundary condition algorithms were developed for blade, and finite element model was compared with solid model. It is expected that, by sealess data transfer, the Multi-body Data Conversion Program could reduce the development period of torque converters.

Nowadays, most passenger cars equipped with automatic transmissions use torque converter clutches to reduce fuel consumption, and recently the slip control scheme of torque converter clutches is widely studied for the expansion of the operating region of torque converter clutches and thus for the further improvement of the fuel economy of vehicles. In this study, the analysis of the torque converter clutch system including the line pressure control unit of the automatic transmission and the actuating hydraulic control unit of the torque converter clutch is performed, and a feedforward controller and a fuzzy logic controller for its slip control are proposed. Also, for the slip controller to use the grade resistance information during control, an observer-based grade resistance estimator is designed. The performance of the designed grade resistance estimator and the slip controller is verified by dynamic simulations, and the effect of the torque converter clutch slip control on the fuel economy is examined using a driving cycle simulation.

본 논문에서는 일정 토크영역에서 승압형 PFC 컨버터와 직접토크제어(DTC) 방법을 사용하여 BLDC 모터의 구동 시스템을 DSP(TMS320F2812)로 구현하였다. 기존의 6단계 PWM 전류제어와 달리 미리 정한 샘플시간 마다 간단한 look-up 표로부터 2상 도통 모드에 대한 인버터의 전압 상태 벡터를 설정함으로써 원하는 전류파형을 만들었으며 이로부터 기존의 전류제어기보다 훨씬 빠른 토크 응답특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 BLDC 모터의 비 이상적인 사다리형 역기전력에 의해 발생되는 저주파 토크변동을 저감하기 위하여 위치 loop-up 표를 사용하였다. 아울러 역률을 보정하기 위해 승압형 PFC 컨버터를 구성하였고 이 때 전파 정류된 입력전압과 출력전압, 인덕터의 전류에 의해 평균전류모드 제어 방식으로 80 kHz마다 PWM 듀티(duty)가 조절 되도록 하였다. 이와 같이 복잡한 제어 알고리즘은 초고속 DSP의 출현으로 PFC와 DTC 알고리즘이 동시에 제어가 가능하며, 본 논문에서는 DTC 알고리즘을 구현할 때 DSP의 일반 범용의 출력포트를 사용하여 구현하였고 단지 PFC에서만 1개의 PWM을 사용하여 디지털 제어기를 구현하였다. 실험을 통해 DTC 알고리즘과 PFC 컨버터를 이용한 BLDC 모터 구동 시스템의 타당성과 효용성을 보였고, 실험결과로부터 PFC 컨버터를 사용하지 않았을 때는 역률이 약 0.77이었으나 PFC 컨버터를 사용하였을 때는 부하변동에 관계없이 약 0.9997로 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다.

체결클러치에 부착된 댐퍼스프링은 유체커플링에서 직결로 변환될 때 발생하는 엔진 토크의 진동을 흡수하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 체결클러치의 성능을 좌우하는 압축스프링 및 지지 판 구조물의 최적설계를 통해서 새로운 설계형상을 제안하였다. 체결클러치와 연결된 엔진, 변속기, 구동축 및 휠, 차체질량 등 주요 부품들을 다 포함하는 다물체 동역학모델을 구성하여 공진 회피에 필요한 스프링상수를 계산하였다. 또한 어닐링 모사법에 의한 스프링 최적설계코드를 개발한 후 스프링상수, 최대충격토크, 수축각도, 스프링개수, 피로강도 등을 입력하여 압축 스프링의 사양을 최적화하였다. 이들 스프링을 지지하는 3 가지의 판에 대해서 컴플라이언스를 최소화하고 체적비를 0.3 이하로 하는 위상최적화를 수행하여 새로운 형상을 제안하였다.

The torque converter is deformed according to the rotating speed and control pressure when engine power is transferred to the transmission. This deformation, which is called ballooning phenomenon, occurs mainly at the outer side by the centrifugal force of the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and the control pressure from the valve body. Although the torque converter is slightly deformed when rotating, the ballooning phenomenon affects fluid performance, efficiency and durability. Thus, expansion characteristics analysis is important in determining torus size, control pressure and structure. In this paper, an analysis equation and FEM model was developed to investigate the expansion characteristics. Using this model, structural analysis was performed to investigate the relationships between deformation and the torus diameter. The results were confirmed by comparing with the test results.

LDV measurements were conducted on the planes between impeller blades of torque converter. The flow fields are extremely complex because they contain unsteady viscous three-dimensional flows. Besides of their complexity, the difference in rotor speeds between the impeller and turbine compound the flow effects. The good spatial resolution of the LDV allows measurements of the instantaneous flow structures within the impeller passage, yielding valuable information about the production automotive torque converter in realistic operating conditions. It was found that the mass flow rates are strongly related with the internal flow characteristics of torque converter.

The automotive torque converter is a complex turbomachine used to transfer power smoothly from an engine to a transmission. Its hydrodynamic design technology has been advanced very much during the past few years. A review of technologies for developing the torque converter was presented. In this paper, the technologies in the torque converter were divided into four parts: one-dimensional analysis, experimental study, numerical study, and new design method of the torque converter. In order to provide useful guidances to the torque converter designer, numerous papers published previously were incited and summarized briefly in this paper.

The performance of a torque converter can be expressed by the performance parameters such as flow radius and flow angle, on the mean flow path. The geometric analysis of the torque converter is required to determine these parameters for the modeling of the torque converter. In general, the blade shape is depicted by three dimensional data at the mid-surface of blade or those of the pressure and suction side. To generate three dimensional model of the blade using the data mentioned above, a consistent data format and a shape generation algorithm are required. This paper presents a useful consistent data format of the blades and an algorithm for the geometrical shape generation. By the geometric analysis program to which the shape generation algorithm is embedded, the variation of blade angles in rotating element analyzed. Then finally, the analyzed results of geometric profile of a blade are compared with those of the blade design principle, so called forced vortex theorem.
