The tribological contact under sliding condition in the clutch facing surfaces during the
engagement manoeuvre is strongly affected by heat transfer occurring in the system. The …

In this paper, a multiple model predictive controller (MPC) is proposed for the management
of passenger car start up through dry clutch in automated manual transmission. Based on a …

Repeated engagements in dry clutch systems could yield remarkable increase of clutch disk
temperature. In dry clutch based transmissions like Automated Manual Transmissions and …

Recent evolutions in the developments of automated dry clutches and the associated control
algorithms has led to a rapid diffusion of this transmission type. However the chosen control …

The tribological contact under sliding condition in clutch facing surfaces during engagement
manoeuvres is strongly affected by heat transfer occurring in the system. The frictional forces …

The goal of this thesis is the study of the automotive push-type dry clutches used in the
Automatic Manual Transmissions (AMTs) and in the Dual Clutch Transmissions (DCTs) in …

Modern passenger cars are equipped with effective systems to increase vehicle dynamic
performance, comfort and reduction of fuel consumption. Therefore it is crucial to sustain a …

Heat power generated in dry clutch systems during repeated engagements could result in
marked uncomfort and manifest damage clutch facing materials. Indeed, recent studies have …

The Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HVEs) are reaching a wide diffusion both because the energy
density and life of batteries increased in the last years with a decrease of their costs and …

Thermal degradation is a relevant issue in dry clutch transmissions such as Dual Clutch
Transmissions and Automated Manual Transmissions. This occurs if numerous …
