An automatic transmission is an important element of automotive power systems that allows a driving convenience. Compared to a manual transmission, however, it has a few problems in efficiency, shift feel, and maintenance. To improve these, it is imperative to understand the dynamics of automatic transmissions. This paper develops a dynamically-correct model of an automatic transmission, using the bond graph method. The bond graph method is ideally suited for modeling power systems, because the method is based on generalized power variables. The bond graph method is capable of providing correct dynamic constraints and kinematic constraints, as well as the governing differential equations of motion. The bond graph method is applied to 1-4 in-gear ranges, as well as various upshifts and downshifts of an automatic transmission, which allows an accurate simulation of an automatic transmission. Conventional automatic transmission models have no dynamic constraint, which do not allow correct simulation studies.

Four models for stick-slip friction are presented and are adopted for a numerical simulation study for a manual transmission clutch damper in idle mode. Meaning of parameters for friction models are explained and proper values are suggested. Also explained ate the reason why those specific values for the parameters are chosen. Preferable model for the clutch damper In Idle mode is discussed in terms of calculation efficiency and fidelity of the model based on real measured data. For clutch damper idle mode simulation studies, all four models perform equally well.

This paper presents a discrete analysis approach to investigate the performance of dual mass flywheel (DMF). In the discrete analysis, arcspring installed between the flywheels is modeled as N- discrete elements. Each element consists of mass, spring and nonlinear friction element. LuGre friction model is used to describe nonlinear friction characteristic. Based on the dynamic models of the DMF, clutch, engine, manual transmission and vehicle, a DMF performance simulator is developed using MATLAB Simulink. Simulation results of the engine speed, driveshaft torque and vehicle velocity are compared with test results. It is found that the discrete DMF model describes the vehicle behavior closely, especially during the clutch actuation period.

The shift feeling, a driver experiences during gear shifting, is a major factor in manual transmission quality. Recently, the shift feeling has becoming more severe every year in proportion to the higher torque and revolution speed of today's automotive engine. In this paper, first, the diagram of a relation between cone angle, sleeve chamfer angle, and friction coefficient of ring is investigated for easy design of Synchromesh system. And then, methodology to solve the shift problems such as clashing noise and rough shift, ect. by analyzing the synchronization procedure in sequence and by investigating the shift waveform if presented.

The stumble (abrupt and big acceleration decrease) occurring in manual transmission vehicle while standing start is analyzed by simulation model. This model was verified by comparing to test results. Mechanism of the stumble is clarified by analyzing simulation results and the key mechanism of the stumble is angular vibration of powertrain including wheel and tires. As a result, several method that can reduce the stumble is proposed by carrying out parametric study, increasing low end torque of engine, increase gear ratio etc.

Gear rattle is a source of vibration and noise in automotive gearbox casing and generally occurs at or near system resonant frequencies. The neutral gear rattle of the gearbox. is affected by the stiffness and hysteresis torque in the clutch disk and drag torque determining balancing point of the clutch disk operating range. The experiment is carried out in the pre-damper type clutch and a manual transmission of a automobile equipped for inline four-sylinder four-cycle 1.5L MPI engine and the computer simulation is executed by 5th order Runge-Kutta method. The results of the simulation analysis and experimental studies show the dynamic behavior of clutch and a phenomenon of the neutral gear rattle with respect to drag torque and torsional characteristics of the clutch.

The present paper relates to a development of the Gear Detection Sensor for automotive manual transmission. To detect air gap from control finger to detecting zone of sensor based on non-contacted method, permanent magnet and linear type Hall IC are mounted in this sensor. Control finger is machined to 3 step heights to detect 3 gear stages such as In-Gear, Normal and Rear. After conducting actual experimentation based on exclusive Jig and FEM, it is described to consider possibility for automotive application of Gear Detection Sensor.

Recently, most vehicles has the Automatic transmission system as their transmission system. The automatic transmission system operates with fixed shift patterns. In the opposite of manual operation, it is easy and convenient for driving. Though these merit, the system can not evaluate the driver's intension because of usage of fixed shift pattern, To consider driver's intension, we must consider both the driving intensity of driver and the status of vehicle. In this paper, we developed flexible automatic transmission system by using the proposed moduled neural networks which can learn the status of the vehicle and driver's intensity As a result, we compare the transmission system using fixed shift pattern and the proposed transmission system and show the good performance in the change of shift position.

As research and development of eco-friendly vehicles are expanding worldwide, additional devices of vehicles are reduced or deleted to increase the mileage, or research is being conducted to reduce weight. Among them, the multi-stage transmission that was applied to the internal combustion engine vehicle was deleted and replaced with a reducer, and the initial driving power is secured by increasing the torque through the control of the motor output value. However, since frequent motor speed change can result in a load increase, this study attempts to develop a compact and lightweight manual two-stage reducer with a general reducer structure. Therefore, a two-speed transmission with two gear ratio was designed by inserting a large gear and a small gear in a structure with a parallel shaft to connect the gears with a V-belt in the form of a parallel shaft reducer, and setting the gear ratio of the low and high gears respectively. In addition, power performance according to the rotational speed and load of the transmission was checked through a test, and the heat generation characteristics generated during driving were checked to verify the validity of the transmission.

The clutch with torsional damper is installed on a passenger car with manual transmission, which not only transmits the power generated by engine to the transmission but also absorbs the shock and vibration from the engine. The torsional damper in the clutch dissipates the torsional vibration energy and eliminates the resonance in the driveline but high damping in the damper causes the increase of the vibration level which is against the comfort and durability. In this study, a dynamic model for the passenger car driveline with manual transmission was developed to investigate the vibration and the effects of characteristics of the driveline. With the dynamic model, the vibration characteristics of driveline were examined by the mode analysis and driving simulation, and the effects of hysteresis torque and spring constant were investigated. The vehicle tests with prototype torsional dampers were preformed and the test results showed good agreements with the simulation.
