In general, jerk phenomenon appeared because of gear changing, when a vehicle starts off or climbs an incline. Therefore, it makes ride quality worse. In this paper, an optimal pattern of automatic transmission was designed using fuzzy logic in order to improve ride quality. After del eloping fuzzy rule for shift pattern control of automatic transmission, dynamic characteristics (i.e. acceleration, velocity, distance and so on) were simulated using dynamic model of a car. To do this he powertrain model of a vehicle with automatic transmission including torque converter, gear box, and final gear drive - from engine to tire - is developed.

This paper represents a new powertrain simulation methodology using the object-oriented programming paradigm. The advantage of the object-oriented is the module interchangeability and simulation flexibility. Powertrain subsystems and controller modules are implemented using the MEX files in MATLAB Simulink in this paper, preserving module interchangeability. Currently, the required CPU time on a 75MHz Pentium PC is about three times the real time. It is anticipated that the "Automotive Powersystem Toolbox" being developed in this research would be of much utility in designing subsystem controllers as well as in designing subsystem mechanicals.chanicals.

In this paper, an engine-CVT integrated control algorithm is suggested by considering the powertrain loss, inertia torque and the CVT ratio response lag. The integrated control algorithm consists of (1) the optimal engine power calculation and (2) determining of the optimal throttle valve opening and the optimal CVT ratio. The optimal engine power is obtained by compensating the inertia torque due to the CVT ratio change and the powertrain loss that is calculated iteration procedure. In addition, an algorithm to compensate the effect of the CVT ratio response lag on the drive torque is suggested by the engine speed compensation causing the increased optimal CVT ratio. Simulation results show that the engine-CVT integrated control algorithm developed in this study makes it possible to obtain better engine operation on the optimal operating line, which results in the improved fuel economy while satisfying the driver's demand.

Novel Front End Module(FEM) with improved pedestrian protection is very important to reduce the severity of pedestrian injury. The FEM needs to have enough space from hood to absorb the energy from any pedestrian collision. In this study, the cooling performance of the FEM to cool the engine was investigated under 25% height reduction. The results indicated that the cooling performance analysis was about 86% level compared to that of the conventional FEM. Also, good qualitative agreement between CFD predictions and experimental measurements was found. This FEM needs the cooling performance enhancement for changed air flow path at the frontal part of vehicle. Therefore, we showed an improved performance using air guide setup and shape modification under the high load condition.

Hybrid electric vehicles have applied electric parts for saving fuel consumption and reducing levels of environmental pollution. Electrification of automobiles is indispensable for entering into global market because of enhanced environment restriction. ISG (Integrated Starter & Generator) system is one of main electric parts and can improve fuel efficiency more than other components by using Idle Stop & Go function and regenerative braking system. However, if ISG motor and inverter work under the continuously high load condition, it will make them the decrease of performance and durability. So the ISG motor and inverter need to properly design the cooling system of them. In this study, we suggested the enhancement points by modifying the thermal design of ISG motor and then confirmed the improvement of the cooling performance.

This paper reviews the main drivers forcing change and progress in powertrains for passenger cars in the coming years. The environmental drivers of omissions and CO2 will force better technical performance, but customer demand for increased choice will force change in the basic engine design and provide opportunities for alternate configurations of powertrain. Gasoline engines will embody refinements of valve train actuations as well as developments in combustion, especially direct injection and possibly a lean booated form of direct injection. Nevertheless, the conventional, port injected engine will continue to be the dominant engine for some years to come. The high speed direct injection diesel will very soon supplant its indirect injection predecessor completely. It will take an increasing share of the total powertrain market as improved specific power and refinement make it even more attractive to the customer. Car manufacturers will provide diesel models to satisfy this customer demand as well as using the efficiency of the diesel to enable them to meet their fleet CO2 commitments. Both gasoline and diesel engines will see an increasing degree of electrification and partial hybridisation as efficient flywheel mounted electrical devices become available.

구면무단변속기(SS-CVT)는 구조가 간단하여 변속기구의 부피와 무게를 기존의 변속기구에 비하여 줄일 수 있으며, 별도의 클러치 없이 출력축의 정회전, 역회전 그리고 중립상태 등을 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 구면무단변속기의 기구적 특징과 변속메카니즘을 이용하여 직류모터와 가솔린엔진을 장착한 병렬형 하이브리드차량의 동력전달계를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 구면무단변속기의 작동원리에 대해 설명하고 전용 실험장치를 제작하여 무단변속성능을 검증하였다. 또한 직류모터를 보조 동력원으로 사용하는 병렬형 하이브리드차량 동력전달계의 설계를 위해 연결기어비와 구면무단변속기의 변속비를 차량주행성능에 맞추어 설정하였으며, 이를 차량가속성능의 수치 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 구면무단변속기의 하이브리드차량 동력전달계의 적용가능성을 검증하였으며, 연구결과로 선정된 구성요소의 설계파라미터를 이용하여 시작차량을 제작하였다.

In this paper, the input split type series-parallel hybrid electric vehicle (SPHEV) is established and the interpretation of the dynamic characteristics in four kinds of HEV modes, such as electric vehicle mode, engine mode, hybrid mode, and regeneration mode, is described. For this research, the forward-facing approach simulation method is chosen, which is useful for vehicle dynamic analysis. The rating of each powertrain component is designed based on energy-based concept and electrical peaking hybrid (ELPH) method. Finally, the designed powertrain is evaluated with the developed PSiM simulator and simulation results are shown.

Noise radiated from the powertrain is an important factor of the vehicle interior noise. In this paper, Finite Element(FE) model and Boundary Element(BE) models were created. The FE model was updated by doing a correlation between experimental modal analysis(EMA) values and finite element analysis(FEA) values. Main bearing forces were calculated using a running modal data. The forced vibration analysis was simulated using the software MSC/NASTRAN, and the radiated noise was predicted using the software LMS/VIRTUAL.LAB.

It is important to have a precise model for the clutch damper in order to simulate the entire powertrain of a vehicle and predict the responses of the system. In this research, we developed a new model in which the spring used in the clutch damper is divided into a finite number of elements. The model takes many unique properties of arc-shaped springs into consideration and is anticipated to be more precise than conventional simple models. With the model, two meaningful results were presented which can be utilized afterwards. One is a simulation concerning the peak torque transmitted via the clutch damper. The other is a simulation that shows the hysteretic characteristics of the clutch damper.
